Vietnamese and Western architecture share some similarities but also have key differences influenced by their cultural backgrounds. Both traditions use architecture for palaces, religious structures, and living spaces, with some shared building materials. However, Vietnamese architecture was shaped more by Buddhism and feng shui principles, featuring curved roofs and wood carvings. Western architecture drew from Greek and Roman styles and religious influences like Christianity. The structural designs and decorative elements therefore differ between the two regions.
