grand manner

grand manner, classical/baroque urbanism, and colonial America

The sites listed here take us beyond Italy and France to see how Europeans (and Chinese) interpreted the grand manner in their grand manors. We can see elements from these manors translated into urban spaces.

Colonial America seems out of place here.
