This successful effect was able to obtain by substantial use of space. Rasmussen indicates that the idea that stays behind the gate is as clear as the ancient ruins were comprehensible for Renaissance architects. What’s interesting about it, is that formally the gate was never finished and it does no difference to the buildings’ beauty at all. Ancient beauty, harmony, rigid order are visible in every column and every cavity. Only a short glance is required to realize what this gate wants to tell us. The example which is being described by Rasmussen at the very beginning is Porta di Santo Spirito by Antonio da Sangallo. ![]() Otherwise, how to make space look gorgeous. With this post I’m going to continue the text I’ve written relatively long time ago – “Experiencing architecture” Chapter II.Īs the previous post covered the topic of seeing both cavities and masses, today’s daanico is going to elaborate on the visual effect we can obtain by using these two qualities. ![]()

We don't know if Molly survived and was never able to return for her six-year-old son, William, or if her bones have been hidden for 90 years.

It feels like night the words tumble over each other like night. Or near a mosque, at least and the Imam is there. (Later, we learn that the kid’s name is Youssef.) We’re in a mosque, in the kitchen.
