architecture [Theme] Page 4

... beauty is not the whim of a demigod,
But the predatory eye of a simple carpenter.

And why the architecture of the station toilets so often reminds the masterpieces of Rastrelli?

Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
Every man is the architect of his own happiness.

Of all that man had built, remained only the arch of the castle gate. Mona came to her. At the foot of the white paint was written bokononism Calypso. The lettering was neat. The fresh paint - proof that someone else, besides us, have weathered the storm.
Calypso was:
The day will come, the hour will come
Earth will come to an end.
And we have to return,
That gave us in debt to the Creator.
But if we, his cursing, raise the noise and howling,
He only chuckle, shaking his head.

The greatest work that reflects his age, should never ignore the environment. A serious architect must take this into account. If he wants to build something, it needs to take into account the nature, it needs to interact with the lighting.

When you see these great buildings people have built in the old days, I think that they were happier than us.

Fashion, like architecture, is a question of proportions.

Moving from a dirty Petersburg of Dostoevsky
in no more than clean the outskirts of the city - the post-Soviet urban space.
Epithets continuing, says: "Under the authority of rationality,
The delights of the architecture here has fallen victim to the functionality."

Take, for example, any lock. Divide it into items, has not changed for centuries. First, the castle stands on the hill subordinate land. It can be seen from everywhere. Secondly, it protects the large, thick walls able to withstand a frontal attack. Thirdly, its garrison, these people are trained to kill. Fourth, the flag. The soldiers know that this is their flag and no one needs to master them. And now, you raise this flag and see all this. And now you are the master of your castle.

Great buildings, like high mountains, are the creation of centuries.

From sculptures we are entitled to demand at least one thing - she didn't move.

Architecture speechless music.
