Architectural Style Identifier
Photograph a building and let an AI name its most likely style and era — with the visual cues behind each. The model runs entirely in your browser, so it is private and free to use.

How it works
Drop a building photo. A vision model compares it to 18 architectural styles — Indian and global — and ranks the closest matches, from Dravidian temples to Art Deco and Brutalism.
The model runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded and there is nothing to pay per use. The first run downloads the model; after that it is quick and even works offline.
Each result comes with the visual tells — pointed arches, gopurams, béton brut, ribbon windows — and the era and region, so you learn to read buildings, not just label them.
It is a learning tool, not a definitive attribution — many real buildings blend styles, and a best-guess model can be fooled by an unusual angle or a hybrid façade.
