Scenarios about 'colonial architecture'
Colonial architecture refers to building styles developed and implemented during periods of colonization, particularly by European powers in their overseas territories from the 16th to early 20th centuries. These architectural forms typically blended European design principles with local materials, climate adaptations, and sometimes indigenous influences, creating distinctive regional variations. Colonial architectural legacies remain visible in cities across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, serving as physical reminders of imperial expansion and cultural exchange.
