Embassy

Project idea

Beauty, utility, durability – these are the immanent features of good architecture. Vitruvius's theories
Is it possible to identify a universal sense of beauty - a definition of beauty that can be applied to all people at all times? Don't our ideas of beauty shift and fight and transform themselves in different times and spaces?
Vitruvius thought that a timeless notion of beauty could be learnt from the 'truth of nature', that nature's designs were based on universal laws of proportion and symmetry. He believed that the body's proportions could be used as a model of natural proportional perfection.
Our team got inspired from Vitruvius’s theories and we designed the embassy of Czech Republic. Which is contained in rhythm, calmness, dignity and consistency of the whole composition
