If each music genre becomes an architecture what would it look like?
The answer by Jim Davis at the link has a selection of architectural illustrations for each music genre.
My non-pictorial answer would be along these lines:
Classical: Roman architecture
Pop/Rock: A typical city street
Jazz: An out-of-the-ordinary building (Frank Lloyd Wright skyscraper for example -see here)
Big Band and Swing: Dance Hall
Country: Rural ranch style dwelling
Christian: A church
Blues: Small, crumbling cottage in a rural swampy, or run-down urban area.
On a related theme, my post from last year:
Music Monday - Meet the Genres
Classical - Tall, handsome gentleman, polite and charming, with a beautifully dressed lady on his arm.
Swing & Big Band - Clean-cut happy-go-lucky guy in blazer and slacks, will buy drinks all round at the bar, girl friend is a leggy blonde who loves to socialise.
American Standards - A bit of a solitary nerd, horn-rimmed spectcles, always scibbling on the back of tickets and cigarette packets.
Jazz - African American couple, moody, changeable, charismatic, but for outsiders, not easy to understand.
Blues - Solitary, gloomy African American guy - tends to study his own navel a lot.
Early Rock and Roll - Teen school friends, frequent the coffee bars, a bit full of themselves- they think they've invented the wheel.
Psychadelic 60s - Good looking young couple, long flowing hair, he bearded, she bra-less, both smoking - something.
Country - A couple who've been through the mill, romantically and in life generally. They drive an old truck & go to church of a Sunday.
Folk - A youngish couple who have an oddly old fashioned look, a bit rumpled, a bit unkempt, yet they always retain a certain classiness.
