Something magical

Architecture has heavily influenced my inspiration behind my final project, these roman pieces of architecture are simply beautiful. I always feel a sort of romantic notions behind roman architecture because it is heavily associated in films, magazines and the media. And we are sucked into the idea of romance and legend of rome.

This is the trevi fountain where upon throwing a coin into the fountain would grant you to return to rome, two coins would embark a new romance, three coins would ensue divorce or marriage. This myth and traditional legends are profound in italy with architecture. I feel it promotes the architecture and that more people visit the buildings because of the stories. The fountain is in the baroque style, with the arches, windows and columns forming the basis of the design. Roman architecture was influenced by Greek architecture adopting certain features. Roman architecture has been revolved around public use either for religion, bullfights or gladitorial contests which have tend to create large open spaces with seating and a floor space.
