Home›Regional and Traditional Architecture›All Regional and Traditional ArchitectureBrowse ByAll Regional and Traditional ArchitectureReference and ClassificationDevelopingStyles defined primarily by a cultural or religious tradition and its own long-running architectural vocabulary rather than by a place in the Western period sequence above, such as Islamic architecture's tradition of courtyard, dome and geometric ornament across many centuries and regions. Belongs here: any named style whose primary organizing principle is a distinct cultural or religious building tradition spanning multiple Western-style periods. Does not belong here: a single building in such a tradition, which is an entity of type building, not style.FactsAll Regional and Traditional ArchitectureSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges
