Design across time and Space

After exploring the British museums Rome and Greece exhibit, it is clear that Rome was inspired by Grecian sculpture and which was then in turn inspired Indian sculptors, and then later to Renaissance artists. All playing a part in shaping different cultures throughout time and across different spaces.

This notion of mimicking other techniques and strategies is useful in understanding the conclusive visual nature of architecture and design as we know it because we see it done throughout history and is true in present day.

Designers and architects borrow and compliment and innovate based on the foundations set before us. We can easily determine what works and what doesn't based on the history of former like ideas that deal with our everyday lives.  This is what artists and architects have been doing since the beginning of time. History just repeats itself.
