1.How did the time period from which your feature was most prevalent influence the feature?

In the late 1700's Britain mainly modeled after Roman classicism. Also the Renaissance had a major influence on the federal architecture from then on.


2.How did the feature you modeled meet a human need?

It is built for more residential type structures. But it is a more formal type of archecture. It is also seen in many presidential buildings.


3.Describe the use of the principle of design best represented in the architecture of your model.

The smooth straight lines make the structure feel calm but yet the different shapes you see like the triangle roof, and the different shaped windows.


4.Explain how one of the other models in your class has similar characteristics?

 Victorian style is very similar to federal. Victorian has similar features such as the roof. The time periods are very similar in both styles.
