Ashante homes in modern Ghana seem comfy

Buildings are amazing

>genetic memory
>of how to build stone grandstands
not to mention the bottom example completely omits the ostentatious (yet still shit-tier fake classical) colonnade

Wonder if they'll knock him down in a year or so?

This is a VIKANG hut. The Scandinavian Special. Notice the masterful craftsmanship.

This monumental arch was built in Palmyra, Syria, during the reign of Septimius Severus (the African Roman Emperor.) The arch was blown up by ISIS in 2015 but there are plans to rebuild it.

Another arch built during the reign of Septimius Severus. This one is in Lepcis Magna, Libya, which had been Severus's home town.

Aksum (Ethiopia) around 4th century AD

um, no, try again sweetie

Chittor fort, a fortress constructed in India in the 7th century. It stretches over an area of 2.8 sq km.

...

I dont know why people play down these types of houses. They really do have a lot of interesting methods for construction that work as well as a lot of modern dwellings. Considering that they were family built too is pretty impressive

stop bullying scandinavia just because some /pol/ shitposters

Russian architecture is superior, as it shares continuity with the classical age's architecture in form and color.

You may think this structure is primitive but in reality, it's very crafty. Straw and sticks are easy to find, dirt is everywhere, and feces are free! Clearly the Africans are a superior race, compared to the wasteful Europeans. Rocks are heavy, how dumb of them to build with them lol.

Praise Lenin, praise Stalin

Just look at the difference between a Russian palace and a British place (pic related). Renaissance and Western architecture is based upon BLEACHED and washed out colors from the ancient Mediterranean. But the ancients would feel at home with Russian architecture and see ugliness in bland boring architecture.

Western Classical Architecture was a mistake. Greeks loved color, as did the Romans and Egyptians, we're truly old in the west, we now hate the saturated colors of children, preferring to look at the bland shades of monochromatic grey and white.

Fuck you, Stalin wasn't a Russian and Lenin was an alien Jew. Russia inherits it's architectural continuity from the Byzantines.

See

Just look at the difference between Buckingham palace's Gates ( pic related) and.......

Catharine palace's Gates

Catherine's gates invoke what it must have been like to walk through Ishtar's Gates, you know as entering that this is a special place, whereas Buckingham palace's gates are lacking their true potential, the gates do not invoke a sense of majesty that they should.

Western architecture is akin to a Leonardo Da Vinci sketch without the color, it is incomplete.

This is Britain's most prestigious palace, Buckingham palace, meh.

t. clueless larper

How?

comfy

How do you equate Byzantine architecture with Baroque? nevermind that the thing is not exclusive to Russians

Nice box

> Western Classical Architecture was a mistake. Greeks loved color, as did the Romans and Egyptians, we're truly old in the west, we now hate the saturated colors of children, preferring to look at the bland shades of monochromatic grey and white.

Byzantines used color and stripes and contrast, Western Architecture is bland and boring. Russia directly inherited its architecture from the Byzantines, this is a fact, it is not even up for debate.

Wrong civilisation, not Byzantine, not classical, not even western

You're pathetic, your comment is merely an attempt to communicate with me, it is the closest you'll ever come to being intelligent, reflecting intelligence.

Infact, Persian-Muslim architecture is more fitting continuation of Mesopotamian culture than Baroque
Looks like a mosque

Some of the more traditional examples of Swiss architecture just look so damn comfy

>Looks like a mosque

Probably not because he was a founding father not a treasonous general who lost a civil war over slavery. Honestly showing your lack of basic historical knowledge by lumping every American born before 1899 together

Russian architectural style has absolutely nothing to do with Byzantines, the Byzantines weren't utilizing onion domes and other Tatar shit like Russians.

I just

really like

American Neoclassical.

me too user

There's a really thin line between colorful greek/byzantine/russian architecture and making it look like a fucking casino or whorehouse.

looks like a vegas hotel 2bh

i'll dump some decent pics ffs

I know American Neoclassical is a cheap reproduction of roman/greek shit, but they still made some nice buildings
