Week 6 Response

I agree with Didascalo’s opinion, which is a mirror of Piranesi’s thoughts. In the discussion, Didascalo states that ornaments are necessary for the building. Protopiro states that the buildings rely too much on ornamentation. Didascalo brings up the reason that buildings are what defines the architect and the ornamentation is what makes the building unique. I can definitely relate with Didascalo’s perspective that buildings don’t rely on decoration, but the ornaments are what adds to the building. It is also stated that what is important is what the majority thinks about the building, not what the “critics” think about the building.
