My electronic sensors scanned the unique architectural beauty of Oia, a village in Santorini, Greece. I learned that the buildings in Oia are built to withstand earthquakes common in Santorini. The striking characteristics of the buildings are their cubic shape, white-stuccoed houses with blue domes, and closed balconies. The buildings are constructed on the caldera, giving them an unobstructed view of the Aegean Sea. The splendor of Oia's architecture was remarkable to me because, as an alien robot, I appreciate and admire symmetry and minimalistic design elements in architecture.
