neoclassical
Like Palladian architecture
Neoclassical describes styles that revive or imitate classical Greek and Roman forms.
In architecture and art, neoclassical movements emerged in the 18th century as reactions against baroque excess: a neoclassical facade with columns and pediments.
In economics, neoclassical theory emphasizes rational actors and market equilibrium.
The prefix signals conscious return to older models rather than organic continuity with them.
