Just as architecture based upon the rhetoric of Longinus' "The Sublime"
could unite different than that of Palladio or Alberti, dissonant
architectural styles such as the styles of the Renaissance, Gothic,
Baroque, and male vs female dissonances found in one building could
also be produced by other aspects of architectural design. For example,
the use of gross, enlarged arch keystones, even non-functional
keystones as in the image above is quite dissonant.
