What Are the Differences Between Catholic and Orthodox Church Architecture?

by Generous Orthodoxy on October 22, 2010

I've been searching for differences between the two types of architectural styles but I can't find anything I can actually understand and I was wondering if someone could explain, simply, what are the main differences between Orthodox Churches and Catholic Churches except for the whole standing and sitting thing.
Thank you in advance!

Eastern Orthodox Churches have:
- domes
- iconostasises
- no sculptures
- are always built on the plan of circle, cross or square
