Architecture In Belarus

Belarusian architecture is characterized by its traditional elements, such as the use of stone, brick, and wood. Also, there is an emphasis on symmetry in the design of the buildings, often using a palatial style with richly decorated and colorful facades. Belarusian architecture has always had a strong connection to nature, focusing on nature’s elements and incorporating them into the design of the buildings. The traditional Belarusian vernacular architecture, which dates back to the mid-18th century and is still prominent in rural and small towns, has evolved to become more contemporary in the big cities. While modern buildings in Belarus are often designed in a neoclassical style, there are a number of buildings that have been designed by architects of an avant-garde style.
