What are the characteristics of Spanish architectural style?

Characteristics of Spanish architectural style;

1. Gulf layout: Spain is a maritime country, so "water" is one of the soul elements of Spanish style. Some Spanish projects usually use water systems and green belts as separation media to naturally isolate the community from the outside world. From community space to living space, waterfront breath is scattered in every corner, which embodies the perfect harmony of architecture, water and people.

2. Clear planning and design: Spanish buildings are usually arranged in layers, with high and low, which is in line with people's sense of spatial scale. The design of the facade emphasizes the overall layering and spatial expression. Through the transformation of spatial levels, the singleness and rigidity of the traditional facade are broken, and its rhythm, proportion and scale conform to the beauty of mathematics.

3. Innovative townhouses are single-family: most of the previous townhouses were simple copies of multiple units, which did not have identifiability and overall sensory effect. In some Spanish construction projects, designers usually carve townhouses in the form of modules, and each household is no longer a simple copy. This design is a wonderful enjoyment for passers-by and a comfortable living space for family members.

4. Light color: The biggest feature of Spanish style is to integrate sunshine and vitality into Spanish architecture, adopt simpler and warmer colors to make the facade of the building bright, eye-catching and not too ostentatious, and adopt soft special coatings to avoid reflection and glare, giving people a practical feeling.

5. It has typical Spanish architectural elements and characteristics: from red tiles to plaster walls, from arc walls to step balconies, as well as wrought iron and ceramic pendants. The abstract use of symbols such as small arches, cultural stone external walls, red sloping roofs and arc cornices all express the characteristics of Spanish style.

6. The materials are simple, and the products are completely refined by hand: the building materials used in Spanish architecture generally give people a mottled, handmade and old feeling, but they are very visual and ecological, such as pottery tiles and clay firing, which are environmentally friendly and absorb water, and can keep the indoor temperature. Spanish-style architecture can reflect the typical characteristics of manual architecture in terrain treatment, wrought iron, doors and windows, external wall construction technology and so on.

Spanish architecture landed in China.

On September 25th, 2009, 23 architectural works designed by Spanish architects and 32 works designed by Anhui local architects were exhibited on the same stage in the School of Architecture and Art of Hefei University of Technology. On the same day, the "China-Spain" architect exchange forum opened in our school. Masters from eight top Spanish architectural firms came to our school to give lectures on "Sustainable Architectural Design", and had academic exchanges with experts and professors from the School of Architecture and Art of Hefei University of Technology, local architects in Anhui Province and architects trained in Anhui Province on "Green Architecture-Sustainable Architecture". Leo Lee, Party Secretary of our school, attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition of Chinese and Western architects' works.
