Old architecture, from Brashov, Romania

Where are all the examples of aboriginal Architectures

They had over 20000 years to build something, anything.

That's right, all they ever invented was.......the stick

Also add Africa and the Middle East to the equation.

Of course there won't be much in the middle East
They blow them up
Destroy them
Rip them apart

You can't spend all you time killing everyone all the time and still build beautiful architecture.

As for Africa
They, like all monkeys, simply want to screw everything all the time.
Can't build beautiful architecture while you are poking everything with a hole.

African Architecture?







The Aboriginals did NOTHING. The dumbest of the dumb.

Nefertiti, at least the African kangs have some sand castles. The abos really don't even have that!

Completed in 2017, McSteen Tan Architects have created the Hawthorn 1 home. Coming in at 358 sq m, the project was a renovation and extension of an existing Victorian brick house, originally made in the 1890s. The family was aiming to keep the original space in tact while expanding it for their expanding family. They also wanted to keep enough of their garden to allow for family-based activities.

When I think of architecture, I think of personal architecture. Large buildings are beautiful, artistic, and sometimes great feats of engineering, but I'm more interested in something I can live in. I like your example of modern home architecture. I could live there, but Mrs. Texan likes her home to be less modern. If and when we build, it will be a compromise. I want modern materials and efficiency and she wants country styling and comfort. I'm looking at something like this.



I can have sturdy, maintenance free metal with spray in polyurethane insulation, large overhangs to keep the Sun out, and high efficiency air conditioning. My wife gets large porches, cozy stone facades, wood burning stove, and a large and functional kitchen.

I like concrete dome homes. They are fire, earthquake, and tornado resistant. They can be covered with all kinds of materials and even buried underground.



This home is partially buried and coated with stones. I think it is 5 domes interconnected. It's not far from my house.



They can be redneck nightmares in the wrong hands, but I like their potential.

Luckily we don't have to deal with earthquakes and tornadoes throughout most of Australia and we don't have basements which is an idea I rather like. Nor do most of us have to build with tons of snow in winter in mind, although we do have snow in some areas.
