Neoeclecticism, Modern movement, Architecture of 20th centuryAbstract
Neoeclecticism was one of the stylistic trends of the interwar architecture. It was based on the classical architectural language and especially flourished in the 1930s parallel with the then dominant Modern movement. Roots and development of this stylistics in different countries and in Latvia are studied in the article, and its innovative nature in the context of Modern movement is analysed. Historical place of Neoeclecticism and its value in the cultural heritage is identified. All figures in the text are photographs by the author, unless stated otherwise.Downloads
