Answer:

British Revival architects thought the Rococo style was too exaggerated. British architecture was motivated by traditional design.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rococo Revival style developed in Second Empire France and then was fostered in England. The revival of the Rococo style was recognized all everywhere in Europe throughout the 19th century in a diversity of aesthetic forms and representation including ornamental gadgets of art, canvases, art prints, chattels, and internal configuration. In much of Europe and especially in France, the innovative rococo was viewed as a national vogue, and to several, its reemergence summoned national culture.

The term Rococo is derived from both French and Portuguese language. The Rococo’s hallmark feature is its refined, fantastical, dream-like style demonstrated by s-shapes, c-shapes and reversed c-shapes. British Revival Architects thought the style is too extravagant. The architecture continued to be inspired by classical style.
