Neoclassical architecture is categorised by use of geometry forms on a grand scale, preferring blank walls.

Thomas Jefferson was motivated by the ancient Roman buildings and by the work of neoclassical architects. He was highly influenced by the classical and Neoclassical buildings of France.  “Monticello” made by Jefferson is a perfect example of Neoclassical architecture.
