why are Muslims so much better than Christians when it comes to architecture
Hagia Sophia cathedral wasn't built by Muslims...
I´m not sure of this
pic related is a catholic palace in Granada, Spain

Catholics merely took over it, though; they didn't design, nor build, it.

French pyramid

Its about different aesthetic. Most Muslim artworks and architecture was designed around geometric shapes, repeating patterns and symmetry. I feel most Christian architecture was more angular, based on giving an impression of being big or tall and detail was in the masonry.
>>2960591
ye but Muslim architecture changes from place to place considering that Muslim is not a culture.
>>296059
>>2960388
you know that was a church right? You fucking mongoloid
>>2960621
No no no justinian was a muslim silly.
>>2960621
It's a /pol/ bait
>>2960537
>building a building on a hill is impressive
ok kiddo.

nearly all of the mosques are just poor copies of hagia sofia
>>2961730
The aya sofya is pretty shit desu.
The sultan ahmed mosque is mucht better.
>>2961741
from iside i would say sofia has more impact...
>>2961750
Its just different taste and cultural preference
>>2960388
I mean obviously this is a bait thread but the calligraphy and architecture are the only vehicles for visual art in the Islamic world so of course they'll be good at them
>>2961764
its personel view, yes, i just think blue mosque's columbs tomuch invasive to eye, too bulky where in hagia sofia they have more slin and pleasant for eye, again its just personal
it was the only outlet of creative expression muslims have besides geometric tessellations. The later is why they are known for carpets.
Muslims don't have alot to boast in the architectural field tbqh
Not much large medieval mosques with impressive construction still stand today, Arabs don't have a "preserve our history" culture. They tear down everything old to build new stuff.
haha DOMES and PARAPETS xD

French pyramid.
None of those examples holds a candle to this Shinto temple.

Why do Indian stuff always looks so dirty

Seriously, though. You know those Gothic churches in Germany and France? They're not supposed to be grey and black like that, they're just dirty. Clean them and they'd be gleaming white. Basically the same thing with Angkor Wat.

turkish mosques are but there are many different styles of mosques around the world. pic related is the ibn tulun mosque in cairo.
orthodox churches are all copies of the hagia sophia as well btw.
>>2961730
not even remotely true.
>>2960388
I sure love me some ancient Muslim statues.
Roman architecture will always be the best though

>that harbor
Another example of Latin ingenuity.
