It's #InternationalCatDay - the perfect time to learn about the RIBA crest, featuring two #lions This image was inspired by the Lion Gate entrance to Mycenae, built in the 13th Century, and one of the great #architectural monuments of ancient Greece. These powerful creatures represent #strength and #authority, while the motto reads Usui civium decori urbium which translates as "For the use of the people, for the glory of the city". There is debate as to whether the original #sculpture actually shows lionesses, who in fact do most of the hunting and caring for their young, so may be the more prudent guardians of a #city or #institution. Only qualified Architects who sign up to RIBA's charter are allowed to use this logo, demonstrating their commitment to the highest #standard of #professional and #ethical practice.

International Day of Peaceful Communication was founded by Ruben M. West in 2019. The day was created to raise awareness of the power of peaceful communication. The celebrations intend to promote peaceful communication as the norm for families and communities as well as governments, and international institutions. 🌍 🌐 🌎 Today also marks World Architecture Day. The history of architecture is the history of humankind — they are interlinked. With successive changes in architecture comes development in our culture, tradition, commerce, technology, and intellectuality. 🏛 🕌 🏰 🗽 The first architecture era of renown is the Neolithic period, which was between 10000 and 2000 B.C. The structures of this era were usually rectangular, and dwellings were built independently of each other. #CulturalIntelligence #InternationalDayOfPeacefulCommunication #WorldArchitectureDay #Architecture #NeoliticPeriod #ClassicalPeriod #Romanesque #Roman #Gothic #Renaissance #NeoGothic #Modern #Postmodernism #ArtDeco #UnitedStates #Egypt #Australia #Italy #France #Europe #Greece https://lnkd.in/gbfeM_vv

World Lighthouse Day 2024, August 18 The Pharos of Alexandria, Ancient Egypt Probably the most famous lighthouse in human history! Guarding the coast of ancient Egypt, the Pharos of Alexandria stood as a towering beacon, bathed in sun and salt. This colossal structure was more than just a lighthouse—it was a marvel of ingenuity, setting the standard for what would become the modern lighthouse. For centuries, the Pharos was not only a critical guide for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean but also a symbol of human achievement, earning its place as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Located on Pharos, a small island connected to the mainland by a dike, the lighthouse became an iconic part of the Alexandrian skyline. Its strategic position allowed it to oversee some of the Mediterranean’s most unpredictable waters and flat coastlines. The lighthouse’s name, “Pharos,” soon became synonymous with the word "lighthouse" in multiple languages, including French, Italian, and Spanish. The project was initially commissioned by Ptolemy I Soter, a general under Alexander the Great who later became Pharaoh of Egypt. However, construction gained momentum under his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, around 290 BCE. Greek architect Sostratus of Cnidus was tasked with bringing this ambitious vision to life. His work on the Pharos of Alexandria was nothing short of extraordinary, creating a structure that would not only serve as a vital navigational tool but also as an enduring symbol of human perseverance and innovation.
