i saw your rant about white het rich people ruining architecture/art and one hundred percent agree like STOP RUINING VICTORIAN HOUSES PLEASE LEAVE MY GOTHIC DREAM HOMES THAT I CANT AFFORD ALONE!!!! its so sad when you see an architectural masterpiece with interesting wallpaper and designs become every other "modern" house with shitty infrastructure. i know there's a way to blame it on capitalism and western hegemony but im tired. anyways, lemme share some of my favorite buildings

one, haydar-khana mosque in baghdad, iraq.

originally established in the 12th century, but the current version was built in the 19th century.

two, buqshan palace in wadi dawan/hadramawt yemen

built in the 1950s in the same part of yemen where some of the most expensive honey in the world comes from (sidr honey). im pretty sure its a hotel at the moment. couldn't visit due to hadramawt being contested area and saudi committing war crimes there but anywho

three, church of saint sava in belgrade, serbia

lemme tell you what, christians from the east do it differently. like damn this is gorgeous, and one of the churches imma share from iran is gonna be on this list for similar reasons. was first started in 1935 and finished in the 80s(?) im not too sure. yugoslavia was occupied as the first stones were laid.

four, vank cathedral in new julfa/isfahan, iran

the ottomans (BOOO TOMATO TOMATO BOOO!!) forcibly resettled the armenians, and many fled to iran. the cathedral was built not too long after the ethnic cleansing of armenians during the 1600s. i wanna visit iran and see it for myself—they do this thing where they mix persian mosaic styles with the style of armenian miniatures that they’re known for. gorgeous 

these are just four that immediately come to mind but there's hundreds of buildings that I LOVE. honestly, go back to building shit like this and forget about the gray ass buildings.

YOU GET IT. It's just such a white american thing to do which is why it's not surprising it's always white ppl but it's still so heart breaking. Anyways these are all SO BEAUTIFUL? the colors are so bright and eye catching , the patterns and the structures are so charming im obsessed with buildings like this just as i am with gothic buildings, the use of colors in them are just so fascinating, i think this is why i love being born in Brazil, while obviously not in that level here color is so present in culture and it's just so beautiful to me
