This building shows off a few architectural elements: the door, the repetitive ceiling, the chandelier, and the columns. The door was first used in Egypt- of course they were not fancy but they did serve a purpose at providing a gateway to a location and in some aspects it also provided privacy. The repetitive ceiling allows elegance to pour into the structure. When we look up, in our own homes- we usually see blank ceilings but now- we can see a repetitive and a beautiful, yet dull pattern. This form of architecture was first introduced in Renaissance Italy, and Rome. In this image, we also see various columns that seem to support the intricate interior. These columns focus on the detailed use of Corinthian order. Even though many buildings of today are modern/futuristic, the real beauty exists in the foundations- the Greek, Roman, and Italian architecture.
