Architektur ist der Einsatz von künstlerischem Talent und technischem Wissen. Neben der Gestaltung einzelner Gebäude kann Architektur auch Stadtplanung, Landschaftsgestaltung und sogar Möbeldesign umfassen. Raum und Volumen, Licht und Schatten, Materialien und Textur spielen auf der kreativen Seite eine Rolle, während Technik, Konstruktion und Kosten die eher bodenständigen Elemente sind. Architektonische Werke werden als kulturelle und historische Symbole wahrgenommen, die Anhaltspunkte für das Verständnis historischer Zivilisationen #architect #architecture # design #building #landscaping  

Architecture is the use of artistic talent and technical knowledge. Apart from the design of individual buildings, architecture can embrace town planning, landscaping and even furniture design. Space and volume, light and shadow, materials and texture all play their part on the creative side, while technology, construction and cost are the more down-to-earth elements. Architectural works are perceived as cultural and historic symbols providing pointers for the understanding of historical civilizations. #architect #architecture # design #building #landscaping  

Архітектура - це використання художнього таланту та технічних знань. Окрім дизайну окремих будівель, архітектура може охоплювати містобудування, ландшафтний дизайн і навіть дизайн меблів. Простір і об’єм, світло і тінь, матеріали та текстура відіграють свою роль із творчої сторони, тоді як технологія, конструкція та вартість - це більш приземлені елементи. Архітектурні твори сприймаються як культурні та історичні символи, що дають підказки для розуміння історичних цивілізацій. #architect #architecture # design #building #landscaping  

Rotterdam is one of the few thoroughly modern cities in Holland, offering adventuresome modern architecture and delightful culture. The city centre, apart from the City Hall, was almost completely destroyed by bombing in World War II, so had to be gradually rebuilt from the 1950s on. #rotterdam #netherlands #architecture #modern #culture 

According to the country’s tourist board, Croatia’s Adriatic coast is “the Mediterranean as it once was”, and indeed most of the tourists who make it the 18th most popular destination in the world flock either to the Istrian peninsula in the north or the Dalmatian coast further south. The Romans were there from the 1st to the 7th century AD, and they left behind many well preserved buildings of great interest. Other architectural influences include Venice (Istria is the closest part of Croatia to Italy) and Austria. #croatia #tourists #mediterranean #architecture #venice #austria 

Get ready to be seduced by the beguiling beauty of the former capital of Guatemala, La Antigua or simply Antigua. As a colonial of the then Spanish empire in the 16th century, the colonial-style Spanish architecture is evident all over the city. The looming volcanic hills also make quite fascinating impressions on tourists. It recovered from the devastation of a series of earthquakes in 1773, leading to migration and its eventual dethronement as the capital city. #adventures #antigua #guatemala #volcano #architecture
