Beaux-Arts: Style or Method?

Beaux-Arts architecture, also known as Academic architecture,
designates a general approach to teaching and practice fostered by the
Académie Royale d'Architecture, incorporated into the École des
Beaux-Arts after the Revolution, the most influential architecture
school in the Western world since its foundation in the 17th century
until reforms in the mid-20th century terminated its architecture
program.
