Abstract

This article describes the development of Neoclassical architecture that was dominant in Europe and spread to Indonesia. Besides that, it also explains its existence as a style that is influenced by local content in the history of national development. The development of architecture in Europe, which was a pioneer in Greek and Roman architecture, had a strong influence on the development of architecture in the following centuries. Taking, mixing, and matching to present the image of a classic building makes Greek and Roman architecture survive even with different forms. The periodization of architecture in line with the course of human history reached its peak in the 18th and 19th centuries by presenting classical elements in distinct forms. This period is called Neoclassical, which means that classical elements are still used to give the impression that this building has links with Greek and Roman architecture. However, the use of elements only as decoration and no longer has a meaning as part of the previous classical architecture. From this background, it can see be that the use of classical elements still dominates and influences the development of world architecture, including Indonesia. With a descriptive qualitative method, the study was conducted by looking at the development of Neoclassical architecture that influenced the development of architecture in Indonesia, especially the city of Medan. The results obtained from the classical architectural movement did not only penetrate Europe and America but also spread to the Asian continent. This adds to historical learning that the Neoclassical movement is part of the development of architecture in Indonesia.
