Most western buildings are stone buildings. Is this related to the local architectural style?

In fact, in many cases, this is not necessarily related to the local architectural style, but mainly due to their traditional living habits. We all know that the development time of western countries is relatively short on the whole. Unlike our Chinese nation, which has a history of 5,000 years, they can only build their own residential land in the form of local materials, such as wood or stone. This architectural tradition has been passed down to this day and has been well inherited by them.

1, stone buildings are safer.

In the era of cold weapons, we know that most buildings are made of wood, but people who are very prestigious in the local area usually live in houses made of stone, mainly because they think that the safety of stones is relatively high, because wars often occur in the era of cold weapons. For example, castles in the west are very good buildings to resist war in the era of cold weapons.

2. Stone buildings have good stability.

In addition, the stability of stone buildings is definitely better, because in the process of living for a long time, the ancients are likely to find that earthquakes have brought them great disasters. Compared with stone houses, wooden houses are more unreliable, so they may think that stone houses are more favorable in the process of resisting natural disasters, so they will use stone buildings on a large scale.

3. Stone buildings are more beautiful.

Another good feature of stone is that it can be carved into various shapes, and then it looks not only beautiful, but also powerful. Using wooden buildings can really achieve this effect, but don't forget that if you carve wood into some shapes, it won't last long, but stones are different. For example, some famous castles will still stand after hundreds of years of existence.
