Beaux-Arts architecture, prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is known for its grand and monumental designs. It combines classical architectural elements with lavish ornamentation. Beaux-Arts buildings often feature symmetrical facades, elaborate cornices, and decorative details inspired by Greek and Roman architecture. This style was popular for public buildings, museums, and educational institutions. It emphasizes a sense of harmony, proportion, and classical beauty.
