Capitals


























Two middle and corner wood pillar capitals (in Chinu village, near Gorgan).
They look simple but they represent a highly developed "system" of architectonic thought.
I am sure a good architect like Le Corbusier would have appreciated such a system.
But as he has said, we have "eyes that don't see". Now we are able to develop his idea of "seeing" beyond its tectonic limits, but we architects seem to be more blind than ever.
