When Architecture Tells a Story
We believe, beyond any doubt, there is a correlation between literature and architecture, a connection that traces back to the origins of man since both relate to that human ability to interpreting, describing, imagining and modifying the context. Therefore, if there is an undeniable connection between language and tools, given the fact both relate to the same mental ability of man, the same principle applies to poetry and architecture as consequences of the same prerogative. The latter two, besides correlating with language and tools respectively, must accordingly connect one to another. We could say that architecture represents to utensils what poetry is to language, thus we know that architecture and poetry are closely related, just like utensils and language. Naturally, we know that a complex subject like that is impossible to express in few pages, but, even if our analysis on the bond between architecture and literature is only partial, is not excluded that it can be a contribute for a theme appearing unfailing.
