Classical architecture is an extremely broad term.
Are you talking about Greece or Roman architecture? Gothic? Byzantine? Renaissance? Baroque?
Even when you talk about “European” there are a variety of styles among different countries.

There is no such thing as “our classical architecture”. Europe is a large and varied continent. Architecture comes from all over the world including the middle east, africa, and beyond. These phony constructs like “classical european architecture” are just white supremacy with another name.

I hope you are merely trolling.

Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?
