Monticello and the University of Virginia, United States
Description
The mansion of Monticello and the "academical village" of the University of Virginia reflect the design of their architect, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), who was strongly influenced by the Enlightenment. They are excellent examples of Neoclassicism, seen in the relationship of the buildings with nature and the blending of functionalism and symbolism.
