RE: Roman architecture: a walk through history

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Hello how beautiful and well preserved it looks
A fabulous house with all the luxuries that we have today and that art of mosaics, how they combine stones or pieces of ceramic to make those works of art.
Today we would call it crafts and put them in a museum.
I would live happily there is heat haha is what I like the most and then the heaters say it is new technology haha
Happy saturday juankar

It's true: we have a lot to learn from the past and even if some may not believe it, we have been using its techniques for millennia. I imagined the work, craftsman, as you say, that those tilers had to do: thousands and thousands of pieces that had to fit perfectly like a puzzle. The heating and drainage systems, which have survived to this day and which made the places real homes. Anyway, I think that sometimes we have to put aside our arrogance and look at the past with very different eyes. Happy Saturday
Es cierto: tenemos mucho que aprender del pasado y aunque haya quien no lo crea, hemos estado utilizando sus técnicas durante milenios. Imaginaté el trabajo, artesano, como dices, que tenían que realizar aquéllos soladores: miles y miles de piezas que tenían que encajar perfectamente como un puzzle. Los sistemas de calefacción y desagüe, que han sobrevivido a nuestros días y que hacían de los lugares verdaderos hogares. En fin, creo que a veces hay que dejar de lado nuestra soberbia y mirar al pasado con ojos muy diferentes. Feliz sábado
