I don't know seems very similar to me, but it also has some elements that makes it stand out from each other.

Japanese buildings have a curved roof.




Chinese buildings are highly decorated.




Korean buildings has a different color scheme, very simple in roof decor and extensive brackets.




Vietnamese architecture is boxier.

They all originated from China.

I could care less.

you seemed to care enough to respond. You mongol scum.

LOL

If you mean the pagoda, it was actually an adaptation of the Indian stupa. The distinctive East Asian style of pagoda was developed in Nepal.

Those aren't pagodas, much of the stuff in the pictures shown is derived from Northern Han architecture

Yes, only some of them are pagodas, but what Hafiz said ("They all originated in China") is incorrect. Most of it did indeed originate in China, but not all of it.

I can't really tell

There's more difference in the little things.

Doors are different for all of them.

The Chinese were arguably the best bridge builders ever, so they almost always have a bridge.

You'll see more difference in the actual layout than the style.

they all look similar in those pics to me ~ just some buildings are better "preserved" than others, so the the paint and the color still look as new, while some others aren't preserved well so the paint and colors are all worned out.

Nepalese architecture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Nepalese architecture is a unique strain of art and practicality. Situated in between the trade routes between the Southern Indian Nations and the Northern Tibetan and Chinese empires, Nepalese architecture reflects influences from both these cultural strongholds.

Pagoda is from indian stupa, not nepalese one ~ china exist far longer than nepal.

japanese has sometype of devil horn

chinese seems to be more highly decorated

korean is simple but neat with pointy edges

vietnamese is more like a square

the first one is himeji castle right?

I don't know.

You're right that Nepal did not exist as a nation, but it has always been part of the ancient Indian civilization. For example, the Buddha himself was born in the region corresponding to modern-day Nepal.

The pagoda did originate from the Indian stupa, but the East Asian styles look quite distinct from the original Indian ones. I read that the new style began in Nepal and was introduced to China by a Nepali architect Araniko/Balabahu in the 13th century. However, it seems the newer style of pagodas have existed in China since the 10th century, so maybe the East Asian style was native to China after all?

yup

I can't even tell them apart from their facial features what makes u think I can tell this difference here?

LOL.

We are talking about architecture !!!!
