Mediterranean is a huge word when it comes to Architecture because this style conquered a lot of countries and started spreading it's wonderful designs.
Mediterranean, as my teacher have said, is known for its three (3) main distinctive designs:
1) It is very colorful. They use mostly vibrant and vivid colors giving at festive look and vibe.
2) Floral in design. It is very common for them to engage in floral designs from the Rococo period's Boudoirs.
3) Windows. Their windows have wooden shutters that is very attractive to the eyes at the same time helpful to block the very warm rays of sun.
We watched a movie last week, entitled " LETTERS TO JULIET".
When a young American travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. After answering one letter dated 1951, she inspires its author to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined.
Here are some pics from the movie.
The movie is very nice, down-to-earth, and touching. It shows the value of LOVE and how it goes throughout one's life may we be young or old, true love never dies.
Also in the movie, it showed a lot of Architectural styles in the Mediterranean period like the window shutters, brick walls, festive colors, vintage lamps, fresco dining, floral designs, etc.
Watch it and you'll be teary with its story at the same time amazed by the beauty of the setting.
