Article Abstract:

A medieval cathedral, a Roman house of pretension or a Greek temple states that in order to shock the senses in the age of steel, glass and bright whites, one could do better than emerge from the time machine before 1550 to face a prominent building. Applying color is the last part of the building process but it works with the structural fundamentals of mass and depth to create a first impression that artificially emphasizes chosen details like columns and portals.

Article Abstract:

The industrial revolution was closely associated with the origin of metals in construction and international modernism goes with feats of structural daring indebted to ferrous reinforcement. The use of metals in construction could be traced throughout the ages and is not confined to the 19th century only.
