Neoclassical Architecture

In what ways did archeological evidence and the ideas of Abb Laugier influence Neoclassical architecture? Were there other sources of inspiration? Did it just entail the copying of Classical buildings or was there something more creative and complex going on? Answer these questions using the PDF readings provided and present a Neoclassical building as an example, explaining the key features of its context, function, and design. Finally, are there any buildings near where you live that were influenced by Neoclassicism? If so, explain.
