Symmetrical, pure white, and beautifully simple.

...

...

literally only symmetry

Regular geometry is an affront to God, who sculpts the world into uneven, unbalanced forms by default.

It just werks

Too bad Italians aren't white, huh?

That's in Brussels, the palace of Justice I think

>He says this as his body which was created by God is symmetrical
>American protestantnigger education

They don't make their things out of plywood, 2x4s, and Tyvek.

Yes the palace

>pure white

they were originally painted but it has worn away over the centuries

Their craftsmanship is fucking superb. They carved photorealistic art out of SOLID PIECES OF MARBLE.

Then some jews got together and purged all of those teachings by introducing "impressionistic" and "modern" art and set humanity back 6000 years.

psss kid

- Euclidean geometry
- Harmonic proportion (origin: Pythagorean math)
- Praising God in art (beauty)

But it's not symmetrical

divine proportions.
watch this. youtube.com/watch?v=U_ZHsk0-eF0
if you havent already.
pretty neat.
>calling gods own proportions an affront to god.

i pray that you're a shill.

>300x168
Fuck you, OP.

It's OK, he has autism.

>5 fingers

>Human body can fit in square (4 corners) and a circle (1)

...

It's OK, you're a faggot

spagetti sauce?

it's ok.
we know he's retarded.
im here for u, user

your liver is on the right side of your body you stupid fucking fag, you are NOT SYMMETRICAL

you people are why we couldn't figure out that the earth revolved around the sun & that it did so in an elipsoid

I'm sorry you dropped out of high school and have a elementary school understanding of anatomy.

Maybe when your mom kicks you out, you can finally get a GED.

>Muh Roman architecture
Literally just Greek revisionist architecture.

Nigga, they used to be. Those sand niggers have been hammering that side of the Mediterranean more than they hit their wives for looking and the goat boy.
Yall blame jews and niggers
>its the muslims
>they ruin everything

Egyptian measuring system and proportions

What about everything inside your body?

...

that it's owned by the jews and spit on by the nigers

pic related proves that traps are redpilled

...

>What makes Roman architecture so based?

Slave labor allowed them to do it right. None of this "prevailing wage" and OSHA crap.

I'm more of a Late Roman guy myself

How does that contradict whats outside your body? Plus there's the bone structure (inside your body) which is Symmetrical.

these are neat too

so the renaissance was started by sandniggers

Romans are just less gay Greeks.

Took all those nerdy dweeb ideas and put them to a pragmatic and utilitarian purpose.

>meme columns that dont actually hold anything up

please delete this and then delete yourself.

That's the bellagio!

In terms of interior design; Baroque and Rococo are without a doubt top tier.

AYOOOOO WIR WAREN ROMANS AND ENAISSANCE AND SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

>less gay
but still pretty fucking gay

Shut up faggot. This is why no one likes us.

Thats renaissance

>Rococo
Like it but it got a bit gaudy near the end.

>hahaha let me just shit this thread up real quick!

I kekd

Holy fuck that is beautiful. I think I'm going to spend my night reading about this, you've got any good links?

disgusting

Just imagine, if it hadn't been for the enlightenment, and neo-classicism, it just would've kept going. Stupid "age of reason"

But it isn't...

I miss the days when Sup Forums knew the difference between Neoclassical architecture and actual Greco-Roman art.

>get commissioned to sculpt Lucifer

>make him so good-looking that people start praying to him

>church gets pissed and tells your father to replace your work.

because italians/roman are the best at almost everything

>implying they could ever tell
Every time I open a thread I am 100% sure there will be something stupid and outright false said in the first 5-10 replies.

>praying to pretty rocks anyway
catholics were a mistake

Its entirely symmetrical you queef.

does this exsist?

...

It really isn't, go look at yourself in a mirror.

On what? Gaudí architecture?
He was brilliant.
Just type in 'Gaudí architecture' and you'll get some of his work, there isn't much of a read unless you want to dive into his life.

>Identifying symmetry
>yup that's symmetry!

Just because youre a sperg doesnt make this fact any less true. Humanity was designed symmetrical. Just breathe dude

>burgers don't have this

Ok. I might just see if they have a good book on him. Thanks man.
>tfw eyes hurt from staring at monitor all day

>symmetry
It's actually a precise lack of perfect symmetry that makes them looks so symmetric. They are slightly thicker in the middle giving them a more "prefect" aesthetic.

incredible

They have art deco to be fair
Gothic is the pinnacle however

More important than any single building, is architectural unity.
It's what really makes a city beautiful.

We have tons of Neoclassical architecture.

If anything people were obsessed with it to the point where it's overused.

Gothic is very underrepresented though. Especially since a lot of old Mainline Protestant and Catholic churches were demolished and replaced with ugly modernist pieces of shit.

...

Most churches in europe aren't modernist. Many abbeys got destroyed in the reformation but a lot were just kept and converted over. Westminster abbey has been there for over a thousand years and has survived like 4 reformations

No the human body isn't symmetrical, beside all the internal things (too many to count) there are subtle differences, for example, most fingers have different lengths, eyes are skewed and noses are off centre, teeth are amongst the most unsymmetrical things. Nostrils and ears can be bigger than the other, some testicles hang lower than the other, your most used hands sides pectoral muscle is usually denser. Ankles slope out at different angles. The list goes on.

>inb4 human circumference fits in a perfect square.

No it doesn't, proved wrong innumerable times.

Societies that have pure, unadulterated belief in themselves and their purpose produce works like this.

Fucking this, cities now are designed by 20-something shit stains who all want their building to stand out and it all comes together to make every single city look like absolute garbage

The human body might not always be perfectly symmetrical, but it's proven that we perceive greater symmetry as more 'perfect'.

Yeah I don't get why the decision happened the way it did over here.

Back when my parents were young churches were just copies of European ones.

Then the 60s came and they started building ugly ass air-plane hangar churches after the old ones got to the point where they needed serious renovation or were overcrowded.

Evangelicals seem to like them since I guess it fits their whole "muh idolatry" thing.

Do you mean fluctuating asymmetry?
And I would disagree, in most cases the asymmetric life form is usually the most successful, look at bacteria or microscopic life. It's usually asymmetric yet it functions at a much greater efficiency than macroscopic life.

this is the trevi fountain from the 1700s you retard. literally anything seems based to you because you're a fuckin moron

yeah, art deco is god tier

and now we have stuff like this ;_;

Well the ancient morons were the ones that discovered cement.

It's neoclassical which is mainly defined by being a revival of old Roman architecture.
Obviously you're not going to get many buildings actually built by the Romans in here, because there are only a few that still look pristine after 2000 years.

it's detailed, yet simple
eye-catching, yet not too colorful

But above all else, Roman and Neo-Classical architecture is timeless.

art deco is probably the single greatest art movement of the modern era

That's fucked up desu.

Story?

French also got a lot of good architecture.

I've always had a soft spot for Australian architecture, even if I see it all the time.

...

We need to bring it back. Strength and power and.... optimism.

...

that one seems familiar somehow

Oh you :)

Fags and boy lovers. Just like the Church.

Clean look, exquisite statues, cozy lighting and golden ratio.

It's the shit you see in every Australian documentary, alongside with Uluru.

elegance without decadence
