Romantic Classicism
Baroque and Rococo came to an abrupt end. Normally an artistic phase dies out over several decades. With more sober and ponderous empires, Europe turned to a matching classical architecture.
The artificiality of Rococo art and architecture was seen as symptomatic of the corruption of the ancien régime

The Philosophes
“…believed it was imperative to strip away the corrupting influence of the culture of the ancien régime to arrive at the natural condition of humankind
“…to create a new, purer more functionally and structurally expressive architecture from the deliberate and rational design of a new social order…”

Vitruvius Britannicus, (3 volumes)by Colen Campbell
It was not a treatise but a catalogue of design; engravings of buildings by Inigo Jones, Sir Christopher Wren and other prominent architects, as well as Campbell himself; it was instrumental in popularising neo-Palladian Architecture in Great Britain and America as well as being self-promoting.

English Landscape Movement
“Where there were straight lines and geometry, the new English landscape design would use serpentine curves and irregular shapes. Under the influence of designers such as William Kent and Capability Brown, there was a dismantling of formal gardens in favor of natural gardens. As much as these designers fought against the forced control provided in formal gardens, they also strong-armed nature into their own ideal.”
This led to a total reversal of the Baroque relationship between inside and outside. p221 http://www.landscapedia.info/content.php?contentID=12

The Age of Enlightenment: An Architecture of Rationality By the mid-eighteenth century, architects
began to reject the visual excesses of Rococo architecture in favour of a structural discipline shorn of extraneous ornament
In France, the evolving bourgeois middle class brought with it a new secular culture and architecture inspired by egalitarian ideals and industrial enterprise
