| - | '''Beaux-Arts architecture''' denotes the academic [[Neoclassical architecture|neoclassical]] [[architectural style]] that was taught at the [[École des Beaux-Arts]] in [[Paris]]. The ''style "Beaux Arts"'' is above all the cumulative product of two and a half centuries of instruction under the authority, first of the Académie royale d'architecture, then, following the Revolution, of the Architecture section of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. The organization under the [[Ancien Régime]] of the competition for the Grand Prix de Rome in architecture, offering a chance to study in Rome, imprinted its codes and aesthetic on the course of instruction, which culminated during the [[Second French Empire|Second Empire]] (1850-1870) and the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]] that followed. The style of instruction that produced Beaux-Arts architecture continued without a major renovation until 1968. | + | The capital city of [[India]], located in the national capital territory of [[Delhi]]. |

| - | The Beaux-Arts style heavily influenced US architecture in the period 1880–1920. Other European architects of the period 1860–1914 tended to gravitate towards their own national academic centers rather than fixating on Paris. British architects of Imperial classicism, in a development culminating in Sir [[Edwin Lutyens]]'s [[New Delhi]] government buildings, followed a somewhat more independent course, owing to the cultural politics of the late 19th century. | + | |
