The ROCOCO style is an elaborate architectural style that originated in the 18th century in France. It is characterized by intricate and ornate designs, often featuring asymmetrical shapes, curves, and pastel colors. ROCOCO architecture is often seen as a reaction to the more formal Baroque style, with its emphasis on lightness and grace. ROCOCO buildings are often decorated with sculptures, frescoes, and stucco work, and feature curved walls and ceilings.
