To Rome, I'm layman or involuntarily to talk about building.

Italy in ancient Greece the gradual decline of civilization, will soon replace its position as a pioneer of European civilization; Roman Empire across the continent of Europe, Asia, the vast wealth of resources to enable unparalleled prosperity of the Roman Empire; and wealth accumulation, created the first true aristocracy, but also for its further development of civilization is lays a solid foundation.

Shortly after the collapse of the Roman Empire, the tide has swept through the Renaissance in the whole of Italy, Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, a large number of master, master to Italy a comedy and a large number of oil paintings, murals, sculptures and other artistic treasures; age with frescoes and the dome of the Cathedral, theatre and the ancient ruins of the Roman Empire, Italy's building has reached the peak.

Even the great romance, art unlimited reverence, Paris love to the extreme of France who, after visiting Rome, you have to admit, the ancient buildings of Rome is unparalleled; other urban architecture in Europe, more or less have the shadow of Rome (except Spain Gaudi's works); those who already have 1500-2000 years of history of architecture, today it seems also magnificent, flesh and blood, vibrant.

Rome's main building is of stone, the Apennines rich in resources, today Italy marble remains of decorative materials; appearance of color to black and white for the keynote, black and white there is always a kind of convergence, natural, classic, simple charm that lit the Roman holidays is a full embodiment.

Roman concrete casting into the building, I feel unconditional reinforced concrete, colorful appearance will not, as a kind of building Fort is best used for concrete, Beijing Fu XING men-Bank of China headquarters bridgehead building, representative; Rome steel structure building is not multi, comfortable and beautiful, diverse, stone mound House really can't compare with steel structures, steel structures can be built out of the Eiffel Tower, skyscrapers, cable-stayed bridge, shell, pyramid, nest, egg shells, etc. vary in appearance; steel structure of the building with glass curtain wall can be regarded as a "construction industry", jinyuliangyuan to Rome, could not help but think of it: "fool, Jia says what jinyuliangyuan, I only read the oath", although not so close to you, may be Baoyu, Rome's ancient buildings or let people immerse, Enigma.
