Segorian architecture is characterized by it's high fantasy and modernist approach. It can be found in Struthio and Segoria, easily identifiable from its heavy use of curves and ellipsoid glass structures. It has been developed over a course of five years across multiple survival servers by the player Sengorn_Leopard.

At First Glance

Segorian architecture is a complex style meant to exude beauty. The curves contrast with MineCraft's blocky aesthetic. Glass is often used, making up the majority of the structure to promote an open and airy environment. This form of architecture often has dimensions based on SI unit physical constants from physics. Less often a build will be developed with the Golden Ratio in mind.

Colour Aesthetic

Segorian Architecture limits builds to a maximum of 3 distinct colours and the neutral shades of grey. Often the builds are monochrome with wither grey or white borders. The most common colours are the blue as seen in Struthio and green seen in Segoria. Green has been the historical shade of choice for Sengorn_Leopard, being the only colour he would build with on the server NoCoords.

Materials

Segorian architecture often uses the commonly disdained block of Diorite as a white frame, being cheap and easy to find while coming in slab, stair, and wall variants. It makes a versatile white edging to contrast with the monochrome style.

Segorian architecture is dominated by large glass structures, be they basic ellipsoidal shapes or patterned glass discs such as that found at Segoria's gunpowder farm. In walls Sengorn favors glass panes; the style demands a pattern to be built into large windows.

Another common set of materials found in Segorian Architecture are Mossy cobble or stone brick, and andesite variants. In more modern styles of Segorian Architecture you can find the Prismarine blocks; inspired by CrackyJoe utilizing it in the official buildings of Segoria.

Another prominent block found in Segorian Architecture is the sea lantern. The sea lantern is favored for the bright and white light most shaders apply to the block.
