• What do we mean by architecture, and how closely is it associated with civilization?
• Do we understand its inconsistency, meaning and aspiration?
• To experience delight at the sight of the Rouen Cathedral or Bernini"s colonnade in Rome, you do not need to be a professional architect or art.
However, little attention is paid to the architecture that forms our environment. In her book, the architectural critic of Maria Elkin considers this area of human activity in all its splendor and multiplicity.

You will see how the worldview is reflected in architectural constructions, and try to figure out what makes the building a work of art
