How religious are you?

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.

That's so weird. I took 2 classes of architectural history in college. Would you compare those columns to doric, ionic or corinthian and why?

Dealing with people that believe that there are 14 different genders, can't decide which bathroom they should use, only prove that point further.
The Tralfamadorians have observed seven sexes in Earth humans. :)
Kurt Vonnegut was somewhat entertaining.
I don't know about needing seven sexes, but it wouldn't be hard to persuade me to "get with the reproduction" with Valerie Perrine of that era.

i am actually interested. i can't remember any examples of latin american architecture that they covered in my architecural history classes. We studied from the ancient egyptians, then a lot about the ancient Greeks, and then the ancient Romans and on to the Byzantine and Romanesque and finally the Gothic. I never remember anything in the Americas.

I don't believe you, but they appear to be Corinthian because of the flourishes that appear to be under the tops of the columns. But I'm on my phone and when I zoom in it's fuzzy, so this is a best guess.

no, you said you knew the answer to my original question because they went over it in your art history class. so how was it that these columns look so much like columns that were being built on another continent?

what got me thinking about it was that I had seen a picture on a documentary recently in central america or south america. And the building had columns and it was way before any european influence. but I couldn't remember enough details to google it. It might have been Mayan.

Are you talking columns specifically? Because most of it is pure coincidence, such as pyramids. And metal clamps to hold stones together as it just makes sense architecturally. As for columns, most are ancient european or middle eastern influence. Is there a specific example?

as you probably remember from your art history classes, there were specific design elements in ancient architecture that evolved with the various dominant civilizations through history. Columns were one of those. Arches were another. Domes, etc. The significance to their use in construction was of primary importance, but their design and incorporation into the aesthetics was often a defining feature of entire eras and dynasties. I just find it very interesting how different civilizations find almost the exact same way in how to accomplish something.

You're going full CTC, Never go full CTC.

These are ruins from the Jesuit mission of San Ignacio. It was founded in 1610 and completed in 1696. Its located in Arentina.

History:

https://theculturetrip.com/south-americ ... buildings/

i got it from there. But I must have been reading about the one above it and thinking it applied to the picture.
Ah yes, after looking at that page, that would be an easy mistake to make.
what got me thinking about it was that I had seen a picture on a documentary recently in central america or south america. And the building had columns and it was way before any european influence. but I couldn't remember enough details to google it. It might have been Mayan.
Are you talking columns specifically? Because most of it is pure coincidence, such as pyramids. And metal clamps to hold stones together as it just makes sense architecturally. As for columns, most are ancient european or middle eastern influence. Is there a specific example?
as you probably remember from your art history classes, there were specific design elements in ancient architecture that evolved with the various dominant civilizations through history. Columns were one of those. Arches were another. Domes, etc. The significance to their use in construction was of primary importance, but their design and incorporation into the aesthetics was often a defining feature of entire eras and dynasties. I just find it very interesting how different civilizations find almost the exact same way in how to accomplish something.
As do I. And yes I do. We studied ancient architecture because it was part of the art then. In fact we studied ancient up to I believe Renaissance. And the influence of western, Eastern and Middle Eastern influence on each. We did not get into the structural integrity of the building procedure, but what you are referring to, we did cover. Believe it or not Skippy, your lack of reading comprehension is not a reflection of my studies.
