Why is Spanish architecture so different from other European countries? It's more like Hispanic architecture which isn't as artistic and sophisticated as European buildings.
Why is Spanish architecture so different from other European countries...
Ryder Gonzalez
Nathan Harris
it looks same to me
are you white?
Mason Gutierrez
?
Architecture in Spain is far superior to any other European country I’ve been to including my own
Wyatt Sanchez
Rural towns are basically just cleaner versions of Mexico. Nothing special. And the cities almost look third world with how terribly planned they are
Jayden King
>Spanish architecture resembles that of the countries Spain once colonised.
Woah. Have you also noticed the Spanish language strongly resembles what's spoken in Central and South America too?
William Bailey
So are you talking about city planning or architecture
Jackson Robinson
Moorish influence
Matthew Garcia
>which isn't as artistic and sophisticated as European buildings
u wot m8?
Isaac Bennett
Spain had far more time to develop though. It shouldn't look like a Latin American slum.
Jace Sanchez
Both. The buildings are practically on top of each other and it looks like they attempted to go with the Italian style of city planning but failed massively.
Blake Parker
>The buildings are practically on top of each other
What does this mean
Wyatt Hall
Will attach pics soon, hold on. Skimming Google Maps.
Leo Evans
What is this, Guatemala? Oh wait, that's Spain. A supposedly "first world" country.
Benjamin Sanchez
m8 those are just old as fuck towns in the middle of nowhere where only 70+ year old people live. All of southern Europe has places like this
Owen Brooks
Just wait til I find a "city".
Easton Thomas
> houses in hot sunny places close to the Mediterranean are painted white and have flat rooftops instead of pointy rooftops typical of snowy places
I'm shocked, SHOCKED
Dylan Jackson
I can also find old and ugly streets in every single city in a first world country
Samuel Garcia
>It's more like Hispanic architecture which isn't as artistic and sophisticated as European buildings.
Jose Jenkins
Yeah because Florida is totally like this, right? Or Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia, etc...No excuses.
Cooper Thomas
I can't find the city I was looking at a few days ago but it was horrendous. It looked like a poor Chinese village with small alleys and electrical wires hanging everywhere.
Cooper Gonzalez
Try some random street in Cadiz
Mason Richardson
It was either along the northern coast or Canary Islands. I forget. But I've seen many cities like that in Spain which look like they'v ebeen taken over by the worst of society.
Landon Rivera
The north looks different, in the south you can find white or yellow old houses with poor looking infrastructure
Henry Edwards
Decided just to search Google Images for "streets of Spain" and there's plenty of examples of shitty areas.
Bentley Morris
Madrid literally looks like it was pulled out of some Southeast Asian city, and that's not a compliment.
Jaxson Fisher
You are just associating poor conditions in Hispanic America with the colonial architecture typical of the Spaniards during that period.
Literally nothing wrong in that pic. Only, very old buildings that are not public structures like churches or institutions.
Adrian Wilson
ok nice b8
Eli Sullivan
Austin Garcia
No, I like Hispanic architecture. But it doesn't belong in Europe. It looks ugly amongst everything else. At least the environment of places like Chile make sense with this type of architecture.
Lucas Jackson
I am really waiting for a picture of a SEA city that looks like that...
Jackson Allen
So? There’ this shit in villages in france but it’s extremely comfy
We do have some pretty good stuff in big cities and other old villages built around castles though
Brandon Morris
wtf? retard
Adam Jones
>cities almost look third world with how terribly planned they are
kek
Jonathan Gray
Basically a bunch of overcrowded buildings with no order. It looks like a sci-fi city where they tried to mix old European architecture with modern scalability and thus it looks like an apocalyptic steampunk kind of city or something.
Grayson Hill
it's beautiful than you think i kind of like spaniah architecture
Oliver Rivera
>canadian
hahahahaha oh man, let him talk no worries.
Jaxson Wood
What is the name of that northern city that Brits like to travel to during the summer? The city I'm thinking of was somewhere around there.
Colton Diaz
Yeah, look how shit this looks
Sebastian Parker
>Spaniard architecture looks like Latin American architecture
Oh shit really??? I could have sworn it was otherwise...
Jaxon Kelly
do not bully spen
James Mitchell
A fail to see any old European architecture style here.
Juan Nguyen
It's not the style, it's the way the cities are designed. They look like someone vomited on the landscape. Compare that to Italy or France, they are much better.
Ethan Allen
Spanish cities are the NYCs and Chicagos of Europe. They look good to an outsider but in reality they're high density, full of shitty people, dirty streets and rundown buildings.
Blake Hill
If you told me this was in India, I'd believe you.
Levi Watson
this
Camden Murphy
pajeet, wait for the late evening if you want to bait spaniards, most of us are sleeping
David Davis
no but seriously
old islamic architecture is the shit
the moors were there for a couple hundred years
they built buildings
sure, many mosques were torn down but some influence still remains
and i'd say it's for the better
Henry Brooks
Even us will agree that if there's one thing you can't take away from Spain is their architecture.
Connor Scott
rural towns where?
towns/cities from northern spain(pic) look nothing like southern spain
and the poor planning is mostly due to most cities being older than your country. you can even clearly identify old medieval walls in the layout of some cities if you look at maps.
Jose Ross
why are all canadians either Sup Forumsfag dense fuckers or lefty dense fuckers?
Jacob Ortiz
Spain and Italy look really similar. I feel at home in their rural towns
Josiah Hall
You don't know shit about Europe, stupid leaf nigger.
Go around any poor area of Europe and you will find the same ugly buildings. Not everything was built like a fucking cathedral.
And wait to discover zones touched by industrialization. Perhaps then you will stop having this larper fantasy about Europe you seem to have.
Lincoln Thompson
This is such a stupid thread.
Evan Campbell
Jacob Fisher

Isaiah Johnson

Might as well post Mecca
Gabriel Brooks
Plaza Espana was build in 1900s it’s pretty much Disneyland tier
Adrian Hughes
Austin Brown
I have a collection of pictures from around the world, nature, cities, and whatnot, but I don't have a single picture from the Netherlands desu
Henry Lewis
Logan Reyes
You misunderstood me. Alhambra was build by a foreign ruler. It’s not really ‘Spanish’
Also if you have 0 pictures of Dutch architecture in an architecture folder you’re clearly a pleb.
Leo Baker
Stupid paki
Adrian Robinson
t.walloonian
Ethan Collins
Its cultural comfyness. A north american would never understand.
Jackson Wilson
Every time I see Dutch Architecture get posted it is something like this
Alexander Flores
meme tier
Xavier Sullivan
Brayden Rivera
Then nothing is spanish as spain as a nation was formed in the 16th century....
Benjamin Price
Really Spain is a mixed Arab shit, I always looked like the dump of Europe and I have 90% Italian genes
Charles Green
>foreign ruler
At this point they were just muslim spaniards
Colton Diaz
>t.diego gonzález
Isaiah White
>Spanish architecture
>not sophisticated
how did this bait get so many replies?
Benjamin Harris
It rains a lot more in those places than it does in Spain
Gavin Cooper
Foreign enough to get kicked out of Spain by the founders of Spain
Samuel Sanders
Architecture student here
Imagine being so fucking ignorant
Spain is the third most important european country from an architectural perspective, a shitton of interesting stuff has happened there.
First you got the roman hispanic architecture, then the mudejar, then the barroco español (which is fucking gorgeous) a.k.a salomonic architecture, then you got the spanish colonial architecture and then you got the renaixenca and the spanish modernisme.
You are just a retard OP
Carson Jackson
And your point is?...
I feel both you and the leaf in this thread have a really artificial relationship with the meaning of culture, making it all political and bland, everyone has a right to an opinion but you two look like proyecting some kind of grudge or something.
You could have messed with anything else in this country and the very spaniards would agree like usual, but our architecture?
Nigger please what said.
Alexander Howard
nvm it was a shitty bait thread i feel stupid for replying to it
Hunter Morales
>the barroco español (which is fucking gorgeous)
Glad to hear it, i thought i was the only one
Adam Cruz
this thread is pure dogshit even for Canadian standards
Ethan Lopez
To be fair, we are more easily triggered if foreigners shittalk our food.
Julian Diaz
>Canadian education in action
Joshua Robinson
I love Spain and Andalusia in particular (will go there for 3 weeks in May to visit pretty much every picture posted here.
I am just saying that Moorish architecture=/=Spanish architecture.
John Collins

Parker Phillips
>whites claim spaniards are moors
>spanish architecture is not spanish but moorish
make up your mind already
Robert Ward
Shit HDR indeed.
>tfw spain forever ruined because of a failed relationship
>tfw can't even look at amazing pictures like this without crying
Xavier Robinson
Post more pics
Noah Cooper
>leaf posters

Xavier Peterson

Grayson Peterson

Luke Harris
OP is a moron, but at least this thread is full of nice pics.
God writes straight with crooked lines.
Benjamin Smith
foreign ruler
hispanic musilms were not foreigner
Kayden Hill
Muslim influence.
Gavin Rodriguez
some muzzie archi is not only good, its fucking amazing
Lincoln Richardson
>someone will claim bosnians arent white because they worship arab religion instead of jew on stick religion
The only variable in any sort of civilization in Islamic Spain were the Iberian natives who lived more or less the same.
Muslim is a religion of completely different cultures and people, Malaysians and Sudanese, Somalians are Muslims.
