The truth about temples and time management

in #change6 years ago

Gazi-Husrev-beg, half ottoman-half bosnian, was a sanjak-bey (benefactor of the Ottoman empire) and dominated Sarajevo for about 20 years during the 16th century. He made an impact that lasts until today. Old town Sarajevo is filled with mosques and stone low buildings, most of them were build under Gazi-Husrev administration.

Josip Vancaš, the Architect of the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Sarajevo, thought of the Notre-Dame Cathedral when designing the cathedral in Sarajevo. The Cathedral was finished and presented to the bishop of Dubrovnik on 1889.

Architecture seems now as a manifestation of ideology and culture.

They come and conquer the territory using violence, and force their ideology; build their temples.
Those temples, have similar attributes: the podium for the preacher, the high ceiling to cultivate fear, and tales of super-natural experiences represented in words or pictures - all designed to promote willingness to obey one concrete system with an abstract idea of - GOD.

GOD, has nothing to do with it.
