What Does Your Architectural Style Say About You?!

Every architect has a unique architectural style (unless they are a wannabe). This style is an outright manifestation of one’s potential and personal taste. The determinants of a project don’t guarantee the same result if carried out by different architects; this can be observed in These Redesigns of Iconic Buildings in Different Architectural Styles. Many people forsake their approach to please others, but a real architect never steps away from his inborn ‘style.’

After consulting several physiatrists and design psychologists (not really), we present to you various building styles and their associated personalities. You checkmark yours.

What is a personal style in architecture?

A personal style in architecture is a set of qualities and features that define a building or an architect, among other works or designers. It can be identified by forms, construction methods, or material choices, and it changes over time according to evolving trends and emerging technologies.

List of Architectural Style and what say about you

1. Sharp Edges

If your building designs always turn out to be spiky, you probably look like this:

Just a joke. You know it gets more profound than that. You are a person who can feel the energies in the spaces around you, and you enjoy these experiences. You are highly sensitive to your surroundings and always aim to create spaces that stimulate different emotions in people. You quickly get emotional but do not act impulsively, partly because you are also rational. At least you can rationalize your pointy sharp edges by resembling them to that rock you saw from the plane. Oh, sure!

2. Straight lines

You stick to your straight lines no matter how much your client cries to make you tilt a surface. Firstly, we salute you for being a person of solid principles. As for your personality, you are a straightforward individual who likes to say/do things directly. That is to say; just as you fail to curve a line in your building, you equally miserably fail to beat around the bush. People like you make others’ lives easier.

3. Curvy

You are anything but direct. People find it hard to tell when you are serious and when you are not. You’re funny, though.

4. Traditional

You always go for a traditional architectural style rather than a modern one. This does not mean you are backward at all. Instead, you are a sensitive person who respects people and their places. Likewise, your designs are well thought-out and exposed to users’ needs and lifestyles. Never are your buildings superficial.

5. Minimalist

If you tend to keep your design minimum in terms of colors, form, furniture, and even interior walls, you are efficient in your daily life. You are anything but wasteful; you spend your money wisely, you eat moderately, you sleep moderately, you talk instead… You only do things that you think are necessary to do. Nothing short, nothing extra.

6. Decorative/Colorful

You are not of the “less is more” school of thought regarding aesthetics. You’re the type of person who appreciates the finer points of nature, which shows in the attention to detail that goes into your constructions. You now stand out as a professional and respectful character who does not minimize himself for the benefit of others. Such classiness is unusual in modern society.

7. Symmetrical

Your designs vary between straight, curvy, horizontal, vertical, etc…….… If there is one thing you never let go of, that is symmetry. This goes to show that you are an organized and disciplined human being. You keep track of all your duties, be they work-related or family-related.

8. Transparent

If you like to keep your buildings exposed inside out, you are least bothered about your privacy. Maybe you’ve got nothing to hide or think nothing is worth hiding. Either way, you are someone who wears their heart on their sleeve.

9. Private

You are an introverted and reserved person. You like to maintain your space and keep away from city noise. Plus, you love meditation. Even when you make openings in your building, they are so tiny that any passerby would think they are a million exhaust vents.

10. Gigantic

You do not believe it is okay to remain one story high in buildings because you want to stand out no matter what. Boy, are you full of yourself? Nevertheless, your confidence is heroic!

11. Congested/Compact

What are you doing in architecture? You should be an urban designer, bro.

12. Industrial Architectural Style

You always keep it industrial, even when it means adding one factory pipe to your façade. If your buildings have this decent look, you are a neat person who likes to take care of yourself regarding health, appearance, get-up, hairstyle, etc.
