# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 1535 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Italian Renaissance Garden: Fountains get placed as ornament while the head and the flow rate are left for later, so nothing moves and the terraces are only stone.
# - Palladianism: Sticking columns and a pediment onto the front while the plan behind stays asymmetrical, which reduces the whole style to a facing board.
