thanks for the photo.
In this crazy world where beautiful items are destructed by stupid men driven by most regrettable men;
a beautiful, well done, photo of beauty made by old men is always appreciated.
Thanks again

This library was destroyed by an accidental fire in 262 A.D. It was not anyone's fault.

Beautiful shot Mehmet, and you did well to position the sun that way and get all the details in the architecture too! It must be lovely for you to speak your native language again in every shop and cafe too.

Today's structures are boring compared to days past. Everything went to contemporary Hell after the Art-Deco era concluded and no building from the 1920's back to the Grecian-Roman times would ever be emulated in either their artistry or grandeur. Today it's just cubes of glass and concrete.

While simplicity is an art form in itself I agree in that many big buildings today lack the built in values of artistic detail. One thing to keep in mind though is that the impressive buildings of old are not representative of general buildings of their age and neither will the remaining buildings from today be in the future.

That is true for they are not a true representation as a collective standard; this applies to the past and the present as well. One thing that this does evoke and can be correlated to a society's academic structure in relation to the prominent architecture of that period in time. A work by Francis A. Yates titled 'The art of Memory'. In the first chapter were some paragraphs on Cicero and oration. As there was no easy means of taking notes orators, scholars and academics would employ these ornate values of detail to serve as custodians for what they want to recollect. Thus making a complex lecture similar to a walk through a familiar town/city. Since technology has significantly evolved over the past 3,000 years we're not so reliant on employing architectural details as pneumonic devices.
