This article explores the revival of classical architecture in the modern era, examining how and why architects have returned to the principles of ancient Greek, Roman, and Renaissance design in contemporary projects. This resurgence of classical architecture, characterized by symmetry, proportion, and the use of traditional materials, is often a reaction to the starkness of modernist and postmodernist styles, embodying a return to enduring aesthetic values. Through detailed analysis of key architects, movements, and case studies, this paper highlights how classical design principles have been reinterpreted to meet the demands of modernity. Aided by charts, tables, and graphs, this article examines the philosophical and aesthetic motivations behind this revival and its impact on contemporary architectural practice.
