I find myslef draw to the greek Architecture type art as well as the Gothic art. I am not sure what it is about it if it is the curiosity on how they were able to build such large pillars and such detailed sculpting on the buildings without the modern tools we use today. They were true artists in their own right. I have seen some programs on the Greek architechture and how they are trying to restore the buildings without damaging the original. The columns it turns out were actually done in large chunks stacked on each other. Then carefully posted into place. It was a very labor intensive process.
On the gothic architechture I have seen it mostly in churches and cathedrals all over. It has been varied depending on where you live. Some are very simple designs and some get very intricate. I think the more intricate the more beautiful the structure. Some of the pictures don’t even show all the detail that there is to see. In movies, like national treasure, I have a tendency to look at the surrounding architechture and pictures and things that they were shooting scenes around more so than the actual movie itself. Movies about New York fasinate me in this way as well. I remember on my class trip senior year going to the top of the Empire State Building and looking ove r the city at night and all the lights giving the buildings such a beautiful look.
