===Religious architecture=== | ===Religious architecture=== | ||
Religious architecture in [[Burgundie]], as it does in all places, reflects the core tenants of the religions adherents. [[Levantine Catholic Church]]es are large, grand, and gilded while [[Mercantile Reform Protestant]] churches are typically smaller, austere, and plain. These design choices reflect the religious ceremonies they house. The Catholic church, especially the cathedral is a testament to the grandeur of the Catholic hierarchical system, its opulence is the homage it pays to the Almighty. These domed monoliths stand broad as they gather the whole of the flock within its columned and vacuous halls to take the sacraments. In contrast, the white clapboard church of the [[Mercantile Reform Protestant]] is narrow and tall with its pointed steeple aspiring to God as it reaches towards the Heavens. Within its sanctuary are divided and simple pews for the chosen few to profess their faith. While a community may only have one Catholic church it will have scores, if not hundreds, of Protestant congregations. | Religious architecture in [[Burgundie]], as it does in all places, reflects the core tenants of the religions adherents.

===Nature and architecture=== | |||
Both because of the influence of [[Art Nouveau in Burgundie]] and the concept of ''ort de thermis'' nature and architecture have a symbiotic relationship in [[Burgundie]]. The tropical climate of most the [[Burgoignesc thatalocrassy]] the need for cooling long predates the development of air conditioning. {{wp|Passive cooling}} has been a key element of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] architecture since ancient times. In more modern times, as mechanical cooling became more ubiquitous, these passive cooling techniques become less a requirement and more a decorative feature. In a more climate conscious world, indoor-outdoor living has become even more prevalent as a way to stay passively cool without using air conditioning. | |||
