Wohnen.

    In German speaking countries, they live in closer spaces with one another compared to the United States. This is also true for most of Europe, because the U.S. is overall larger than most European Countries. The architecture in Germany was highly influenced by the Gothic, Rennisannce, and Baroque styles. The layout of cities is also more compact and space efficent, because Europe is very old, and the cities have existed for longer periods of time compared to those of the U.S.
    The buildings are far older, and therefore more expensive than buying a house in America, so most people in German speaking countries rent apartments. This has caused more apartments to be constructed. The East Berlin Soviet Housing is also still used as a trendy living space.  The more recent trends of architecture have been influenced by artists and have been more abstract. This is being seen more and more in most societies. These buildings are both creative and pratical.
