Colonial architecture

Colonists frequently built houses and buildings in a style that was familiar to them but with local characteristics more suited to their new climate.

The best example of Russian colonial achitecture in Siberia is the architecture of Irkutsk, Tobolsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Omsk and Yeniseysk.

Russian colonial architecture in Siberia was primarily built out of wood due to the abundance of it in the region and is noticeable for its wooden carving.

Starting in 1938, the colony's Public Works Department sponsored the building of 27 new villages meant for Italian settlement, mostly in Cyrenaica, which epitomized a Rationalism informed by local Arab architectural mores.

Giovanni Pellegrini, one of the most prominent designers of these agrarian villages, attempted to synthesize Arab and Italian architecture to settlements best fitted to Cyrenaica's arid climate.

[6][7] Italy's occupation of the Dodecanese bore a significant amount of modernist and art deco buildings throughout the archipelago.
