Carbon copy or roman architecture

>>76238209
This style of architecture is called Neogreek or Greek revival.
So your "American architecture" is a copy of a copy of a copy of ancient European architecture.

yeah nah you're a cunt.

>>76244658
Not to diminish the relevance of French architecture, but American architecture is clearly aping the Palladian neoclassical style, since they roleplayed hard at being Romanz'n shiet
>>
>>76244731
It's a characteristic of the movement. The school of beaux emphasized on greek and roman architecture with a hint of french classicism.

Americans are much, much better at building new/modern things.

Europe is basically "WE HAVE CULTURE BECAUSE WE HAVE OLD BUILDINGS" while at the same time plopping down shoddy coppies of American skyscrapers withing spitting distance of said "MUH CULTURE".

>>76244658
Same with American cinema, a lot of big directors from the 80s and 90s were inspired by French Nouvelle Vague. But once again, the Americans are actually doing relevant shit right now while French cinema can be described with the following words: "how many Algerians can we shoehorn into this meaningless American style feel-good movie?".

European "culture" is merely its history, while American culture is the present. American culture is vibrant, changing, alive. European culture is retrogade, navelgazing, static... dead. If you don't believe me, I defy you to name me one significant French movie from the past decade. No, shit like "Taken" doesn't count, it's in English starring an American Hollywood actor with primarily an American audience.

The Capitol and the White House are literally based off the Roman Pantheon and the Athenian Parthenon, respectively.
