Language of Architecture

 

The graphic fascination with the Korean alphabet can be attributed to a smart King. Who designed the European alphabet in its current form? Who invented the architectural orders and why are buildings composed using these orders so compelling to the senses?

Is it important to know who did what in the days when a lot of originating was being done or do we simply thank God that beauty is real?

The Greek myths are very powerful stories laced with high desires, light and dark, immortal beings that render a definite moral character behind deliberate actions that fit the traits, all unfolding inside a magical architecture defined by classical order, as if that is the proper look for the presence of divine forces.

Going by the look that Tuscany has today, it is plausible that the Etruscans knew something about organising the world to have the good life in the middle of the Mediterranean sea.Being that there was contact with Greece, the Etrurians would have learnt the Alpha Beta linguistic logic.

These were tough people and the Italian peninsula was likely culturally very lively and the particularly fine cuisine must also must have had a certain climate where leisure and labour combined according to actual qualitative reasons quite apart from market forces. This traditional architecture of lush creating outdoor living spaces out of a lexicon of classical archetypes remain still today all along the Amalfi Coast.
