Adam's work had influenced the direction of architecture and design across the western world. In England his collaboration with [[Thomas Chippendale]] resulted in some of the finest neoclassicist designs of the time, most notably in the [[Harewood House]] collection of Chippendale's work. In North America, the [[Federal style]] owes much to neoclassicism as practised by Adam. In Europe, Adam notably influenced [[Charles Cameron (architect)|Charles Cameron]], the Scotsman who designed apartments in the [[Catherine Palace]], [[Tsarskoye Selo]] and other Russian palaces for [[Catherine the Great]].<ref>Glendinning & McKechnie, p. 108</ref> However, by the time of his death, Adam's neoclassicism was being superseded in Britain by a more severe, Greek phase of the classical revival, as practised by [[James Stuart (1713-1788)|James "Athenian" Stuart]]. The Adam brothers employed several draughtsmen who would go on to establish themselves as architects, including [[George Richardson (architect)|George Richardson]], and the Italian [[Joseph Bonomi the Elder|Joseph Bonomi]], who Robert originally hired in Rome.
