  1. According to ancient philosophers, "Human understanding of beauty is based on love for everything round and bright." One of the first ideally beautiful objects in the history of culture is the red-yellow apple created by nature, which entered, as a symbol of beauty, into ancient Greek myths (the myth of Venus, who received an apple from Paris as a symbol of her victory in a beauty contest between goddesses); as a symbol of temptation and knowledge - in the book you know, where Eve gave an apple to Adam; and in numerous fairy tales of different nations of the world, where there are "golden rejuvenating apples" that return youth to a person and give him a long life. And - yes, the beauty of the surrounding classical environment: magnificent ancient buildings of museums, universities, libraries, theaters, other cultural and public buildings - with Doric/Ionic/Corinthian columns, spiritual statues of beautiful nymphs, bright frescoes, multi-colored mosaics, polished carved wooden railings, stucco, pilasters in curls - returns a person to youth or even to childhood, declaring him to remember the morning in the forest filled with light, bright flowers, gives a person the joy of life!

  2. May be, there should be law, which requires an architect to live or work for at least a year in each building he has projected. I guess, after that architects will start projecting buildings, suitable for living & working, instead of just trying to win in the unofficial architectural competition "Who will project the strangest building."
