Hi all, Hi Adriana Balen} The original post "Does spontaneous thought inspire architectural form?" was a serious suggestion that architectural form was not spontaneous! Neither {and I was expanding on that premise} would cultural icons of great significance. I was suggesting, as you aptly put it .. that icons, like architectural form, is inspired by area analysis, critical thinking, (&) enormous amounts of information .. It couldn't have been stated better .. it was from this platform that I proposed that the Eye of Horus an icon of incredible stature originated here.
