What sort of architecture do you like?  

I am fortunate that I have the City of London on my doorstep so I have lots of architectured buildings and famouse buildings to visit and see, St.Pauls Cathedral, Tower Of London, Buckingham Palace to name but a few and of course the Post Office Tower, we have a lot of tall buildings in London but no skyscrapers. I have been all the way up Blackpool Tower which is adventurous for me as I don't like heights! I loved the architecture in Prague beautiful city indeed.

When it comes to visible statement of opulence and power, I like the Baroque architecture! Those Mansions, palaces and churches typical of the 17th century style of lush and ornate facades, large-scale ceiling frescoes, columns, domes and archways.

I do wonder how they were able to build those magnificent buildings during that time without the modern technology and engineering! Practically all made by hand, must be tedious. Fortunately we still see all those kind of architecture across Europe.Awesome experience just to see how much wealth they have then.

We like a lot of the same things. I love the look of the thatched cottages in Ireland and the Tudor-looking buildings. I would very much like to see some of the castles through the UK and Europe. The white-washed homes in Greece hold an appeal too. Australia is a very young country so we don't have any really old, historic buildings. The Sydney Opera House IS lovely and, when travelling overseas, reminds Aussies of home.

I like variety. When I see an American Village or City with all kinds of archetecture from Colonial to Victorian, from Farmhouse to Lighthouse and Log Homes, I love it! I've been to see cord wood and alternate energy homes. When I went to France, Notre Damn and Eiffel Tower. Variety there, too. What I hate is row houses and suburbs. All the homes are the same, only difference is the number and some places allow you to paint your home a different color, wow, how special!NOT!
