Dear friend Erne, today I am pleasantly surprised by your post about beauty in architecture. Although the topic of beauty belongs to aesthetics, part of philosophy, architecture and all other forms of art have a predilection for this topic. In principle, I believe that there is no universal criterion of beauty, thanks to the Creator, if that were the case the world would be very boring. Without wishing to be relativistic on the matter, I believe that the relationship between the object and the observer is extremely personal, I support the idea that the observed object, in this case an architectural work, has within it something to say to the observer, even something that not even the author of the work could imagine. I congratulate you for your reflections and your beautiful examples. Given the choice, I prefer Bath Abbey, which I was lucky enough to visit in 1975, when I was studying in London. The reasons are many, its elegance, spaciousness, the peace that is breathed inside, its beautiful stained glass windows, the gold leaf columns, as well as the fan-shaped vaults of its splendid ceilings.

Greetings dear friend Benjamin @besamu. Since beauty is a universal topic, it's also extremely relevant to the architecture and design industry as aesthetics plays a crucial role in a project's success. Although the real definition of beauty is debatable, Architects and Designers have experimented with creative methods to produce results that have a mass appeal to clients and customers. But again, the sensitive threshold between beauty and ugliness always challenges us to think outside the box, relentlessly enhancing our never-ending quest for ultimate perfection. 😊
I'm truly glad you had the opportunity to actually experience Bath Abbey in London. Despite our differences in judgment, the spectacular architecture of that church is highly respected in its own presentation. Thank you for your remarkable comment, filled with important insights and revelations. Best wishes! 👍😎
