Chapter 1. Old maps of St. Petersburg
Chapter 2. Ancient tale in the north of Europe
Chapter 3. Unity and monotony of monumental structures scattered around the world
I looked through the photographs of the Capitol, looked at the columns for a long time … I will not impose my point of view, I will just post the photos, and you will draw conclusions yourself.
Rome. Old city.
Promotional video:
Roman forum.
Rome. Column of Marcus Aurelius.
Rome. Trajan's Column.
Pantheon. Paris. France.
Pantheon. Rome. Italy.
Daly. India. Kutubov's column.
Tunisian Capitol.
Temple of Jupiter. Baalbek. Lebanon.
Parthenon. Athens. Greece.
One project, right?
Exchange building. Saint Petersburg. Russia.
Column of Vice Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Square.
Trafalgar Square. London.
These photographs can be considered a deep story. But what if you restore (restore) these structures, or use the existing building material to put them in another place? Let's dream together …
Capitol + Column.
A very interesting picture with the direction of the streets around the capitol
comparable to the map of St. Petersburg.
Triangles, triangles … All the same triangles with monuments "looking in the center".
But let's not get away from the topic, let's move on.
Texas State Capitol, Austin. USA.
… and a statue to him.
Capitol Building in Madison. USA.
Colorado Capitol. Denver. USA.
Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines. USA.
The state capitol … No, this is not a capitol, this is Isaac, but quickly slipping pictures you can take Isaac for a capitol, there are not so many differences.
Massachusetts State Capitol in Boston. USA.
Cuban Capitol. Havanna.
Capitol building in the city of Buenos Aires. Argentina.
Reichstag. Berlin. Germany.
Cathedral in Helsinki. Finland.
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Adalbert, or the simpler name of the building, is the Esztergom Basilica. Hungary.
St Paul's Cathedral. London. Great Britain.
How alike they are.
Now let's turn our attention to the columns …
Palace Square. Column of Sigismund. Warsaw. Poland.
Mikhailovskaya Column, a monument to Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich. Izhevsk. Russia.
Column of the Congress in Brussels. Belgium.
Castle Square, a monument to Russian troops. Riga. Latvia.
Monument to Cristobal Colon Located in the port of Barcelona.
Columbus monument. Barcelona. Spain.
You can go on, but then this idea will become endless …
There are not even hundreds of such pictures on the Internet, there are thousands, millions of them. It is now much easier to understand some parts of the story. It is impossible to put together a complete picture of world history from puzzles, having only a few pieces in stock. But they, puzzles, all the same, sooner or later, appear here and there, it is important not to pass by, pay attention to them, and try to find their place, not at random, but exactly the place where they really should be. All these buildings remind me more of a "cargo cult", I already wrote about this earlier in the article "One project, one architect, or …?". We are trying to recreate what was once technologically advanced and performed certain functions, to a greater extent, we still do not understand. In this regard, a series of articles has already been written, please have time - read it.
