- A look inside two iconic architectural styles in California, Spanish Colonial and its subtype, Mission Revival. In this video, we will look at the architecture of Santa Barbara, CA, a city with buildings nearly exclusively in these styles.
Thank you for watching, and as always, please remember to like and subscribe to the channel if you enjoyed. Feel free to comment and give feedback on my new Urban Dynamics series! Also expect to continue seeing regular hiking videos and other videos along with this new content in the next few months.
As an Spaniard I'd call the courthouse distinctively eclectic Andalusian. It has distinctly southern Spanish vibes with all the tilework and the plain exterior vs ornate interior dynamic (also small windows because sun is not something you want more in those parts of Spain), about the ornate entrances though, that' calls more to the Renaissance and plateresque. Although you didn't speak much about it I'd like to point out one of the roofs in arabesque style compared to the rest that featured more Christian inspired aspect.
It's quite an experience learning about these styles coming from the Old Continent, but I do like the cozy vibe it gives compared to the shitty cristal blocks European international style has become...
Thanks for your insight that’s really interesting! The courthouse is definitely an interesting building with lots of different influences for sure.
I really think these TH-cam dudes should just hire a professional to narrate. The DICTION, the MONOTONY... 🫤👎
Most small channels can’t afford that nope 👎
Stopping in to say I whole heartedly disagree! Appreciated the commentary and deep dive 🙏 You’ve inspired me to take another trip to Santa Barbara soon and seek out some architectural sites.
Appreciate it much - hope you have a great trip to SB!!
