colosseum

Posted by aaxan (Tokyo, Japan) on 1 June 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

It's June 1st and I decided to start posting pictures from a 4-day trip to Italy I've made lately.
2 days in ROME and 2 days in VENICE. Pretty amazing...

This is a picture of COLOSSEUM, who would know that this building has been standing there for more than 2000 years? This piece of art raised a question about modern architecture. Even with super technology of the new age, which of the modern buildings will be able to last 2000 years?
Modern architecture is like a candle light, easy to burn easy to die. The fact that I bet none of modern architects would be happy about.
