Instead of perfect form, perfect symmetry, it broke the rule and uses compression for power, buildings look muscular and is made larger than that of renaissance. It still uses the excessive ornaments and decorations from the renaissance period but take it to the next level and make it more excessive and expressive. The breaks the clean line and geometrical and uses concave and convex curve, also it reacts to Renaissance pediment by breaking it down into three triangle. It also uses geometrically shape but broken it down into triangle based circle based oval. It also uses triangle based stars and triangle as interior decoration. Even though it tries to break away from the Renaissance period as much as possible, elements can still be trace back to the Renaissance architecture.
The elements of baroque architecture also includes cornice, and also uses dove as a holy trinity as well as cantilever wall.
