An architect who writes. I write to remind people why classical architecture matters.

When it comes to classical architecture, the common perception often leans towards heavy ornamentation or an outdated aesthetic. But that's a misconception. Let's deconstruct the name itself—the term 'classical' is derived from 'classic,' which signifies something enduring, timeless, and of high quality. So, it's not about being old-fashioned or passé, but rather elegance and longevity. Classical architecture is defined by its principles of symmetry, proportion, geometry, and harmony. Ornamentation, while present in some examples, isn't a defining characteristic. What makes classical architecture so enduring is its focus on balance, order, and simplicity—elements that should continue to inspire modern design. #architecture #classicalarchitecture #designthinking #architects
