A lot of those examples (not all) are Muslim creations. A lot in Spain converted to Christian churches.

The best one is in Cordoba. Went there in 2019 and it was stunning

WHOA. how old is that place?

I don't think so, did an army of skeletons ever lay siege to Malta?

I've seen that before I just can't remember what it is.

that last pic is a really good example of the "flying buttress". they had to come up with a way to support the lateral forces on the columns that support a domed or arched span. while the arch is strong, it still exerts outward pressures on the top of the columns and if they are too skinny, then they need some type of lateral support. In comes the idea of the flying buttress.

When did you get interested in architecture? I don't remember you ever mentioning it. Interesting subject.

my undergraduate degree was in construction. the construction department was in the college of architecture at texas a&m. so, my first 2-3 years i had the same classes as all of the architecture students. a lot of studying architectural history. I really thought I might want to be an architect until I found out how fucking artistic those fucking guys are.

Very cool. Not only artistic but tons of mathematical principles too. Would seem a fascinating subject.

the mathematical part i could hang with. it was the abstract artistic skills they had that you just can't fake. its like musical talent. you either have it or you don't. I'm glad I found that engineers aren't just for driving trains. a civil engineer is just an architect with no artistic skills.
