Pompeii in Your Back Yard
Think about Pompeii. Tourists worldwide take pleasure in the ruins of
ancient cities. Back at home, their attitude towards ruins change. What
do you think is more uncomfortable than looking at an abandoned
house from your own living room? Architecture is not just a place. It
easily becomes a hysterical body, but this is because we want it this
way. We take pleasure in decoding our feelings while looking at architecture.
