Blog #6


The Knossos interior caught my attention simply because of its incredible design. I'm honestly so impressed that people that long ago were able to create such beautiful interiors. I'm not saying that people were stupid or talentless in those days, but I mean seriously think about how impressive they were by being able to creat all of this. The columns, the stairs, the symmetry, everything! I also think we can relate this to our daily lives because it is an inspiration to architects. Old looking houses or greek-styled houses are popular with the wealthy, and I think the Knossos interior definetly plays a part in inspiring today's architects.

It is quite amazing to look at what the architects and builders were able to create in the era they were in! Having the know how to build everything in such symmetry is absolutely a miracle without using the technology we have today. I think our generation of today is more dependent on tools that do the problem solving for us than the people who built the structures of Ancient Greece. Maybe they were smarter?
