    Thanks to a revival in Greek architecture, which country is said to have used more marble in 17 years than the Roman Empire did in its entire history?

    Question #56742. Asked by gmackematix. (Apr 18 05 7:27 PM)

    		I think you are referring to American architecture from 1900-1917. However, there were really two important periods of classical revival architecture in America, the first taking place from 1818-1850. The second is better described as the Beaux Arts period, since it begins around 1885 and ends about 1920. Daniel Burnham, architect of the White City at the 1893 World's Fair, was a good representative of this era.

    		Yay Frankie! I think it shows in some cities such as Washington DC.

    		For an interesting take on that issue, see "Learning from Las Vegas," by architect Robert Venturi.

    		Well I wondered if in fact it would all be styrofoam.
