Architecture

Accorlian architecture has generally been consistent with architectural trends in the wider Western world, with some special adaptations to compensate for distinctive Australian climatic and cultural factors. The Indigenous Accorlians, the Jarragah,  produced only semi-permanent structures from readily available material. During Accorlia early Western history, it was a collection of British colonies in which architectural styles were strongly influenced by British designs like Georgian, Victorian and Gothic revival architecture. However, the unique climate of Accorlian necessitated adaptations, and 20th-century trends reflected the increasing influence of American urban designs and a diversification of the cultural tastes and requirements of an increasingly multicultural Accorlian society. Architectural styles have been basically exotic and derivative. Only recently have climate and environment played a major role. During the 19th century, Accorlian architects were inspired by developments in England. From the 1930s on, North American and International influences started to appear.

Buildings were often heavily influenced by the origins of their patrons, hence while the British would like to be reminded of a perfect England, the Dutch, German, Polish, Greek, Italian and other nationalities would also attempt to recreate the architecture of their homelands. Many commercial and residential terrace housing, buildings of the inner-city suburbs still retain their Victorian style, while much of the suburbs are made up of post-war, brick veneer bungalows or art deco housing. There are also examples of Tudor housing in parts of Albany, Warrington and Mullbourne, as well as the Italianate, Regency, Queen Anne, Free and Rustic Gothic architecture styles.
