>>57008434
Rich people who feared hell so they built beautiful cathedral to feel better I guess

>>57008719
It's a church in Mannheim that I visited once. I would Upload another pic but their file sizes are too big. Now let me divert the question back to you, where is that church at?
>>57008849
Looks pretty cool, and recent or it's just that I'm accustomed to grim stone
Mine's the Sacré-Cœur in Paris
>>57008939
It was Kind of rustic looking on the outside if that is any consolation. But that is a beautiful church you have there. I've had a soft Spot for the really big churches

Large, cold and baron. Very straight and angular, which comes off as oppressing.
Pic related is way more aesthetic. Rounded, inviting, and warm inside.

How ? The insides are always richely decorated, and the dim light is more comfy than cold
>Baron
Barren you mean ? If so your pic isn't better, it's raw stone too.
>Very straight and angular
There's more than just one style of church

Ottomans literally just copied Byzantine church architecture for their mosques.

Explain to me how Turkish mosques aren't influenced strongly by The Hagia Sophia then.
Copy might be a harsh word but the design is very similar. Another example of Byzantine church design.
>>57010217
inside of Turkish mosques are bretty cool
>>57010217
But that's how architectural trends work. You see an aspect that you like, and you incorporate it into your design. There's no such thing as a 'set' design. Domes aren't exclusive to churches, and usually only very old churches have domes.
I personally find domes much more appealing than straight and angular roofs. They're just much more softer on the eye.

>and usually only very old churches have domes.
Please stop posting
>>57010387
You are right it's softter but I prefer Gothic for instance because it looks like there is so much work on the outside, the building isn't just impressive because it's big but also for all the details. The eyes doesn't only follow the shape of the thing but get caught by every angle, scuplture, arch, spire etc, and the longer you look the more impressed it becomes
>>57010387
This one should please you tho
>>57010607
>those building in the background
kind of ruin the image
>>57009696
Is that Strasbourg ?
>>57010659
Meh it's not like you could see them when are actually near the cathedral at street level
But here's another one in the same city with a clear view
>>57010715
You mean outside of the fact that the filename is "cathédrale d'Amiens" ? Well, it's Amiens.
>>57009818
I felt like an ant when I walked there.
>>57010607
There is a difference between the Gothic and Dome aesthetics of design when it comes to churches. Gothic is supposed to emphasize god's transcendence. The Dome is supposed to emphasize God coming down onto us.
Mosques tend to overdo it with the patterns and colors, it looks really tacky imho.
