As a University Student in Rome 🇮🇹, I studied Art History and Ancient Roman Art History which included Ancient Roman Architecture. Now wherever I travel around the world, I can spot Roman architectural influences. For example, here at The Shore Club in Turks & Caicos (can’t believe it was only 2 weeks ago!) I immediately spot the entrance which is typical of a Domus/a House where wealthy Romans lived. This entryway leads to the main area of the house called the Atrium. The Atrium is the most important part of the Domus. It is an open room where guests and clients were greeted. It was the focal point of the house, open in the center, surrounded by high ceiling porticos. It has an open square roof called the Compluvium and a small shallow rectangular pool called the Impluvium that was used to collect rain water that was later drained into an underground cistern. I see everything here except the underground cistern. The Romans still today, continue to influence art and architecture around the world. #andràtuttobene 💚🤍❤️ . . . . #architecturaromana #compluvium #architecturaldesign #impluvium #architecturaldesign #domusromana #atriumprestige #architecturedesign #ancientromanarchitecture #romaninteriors #romanarchitectureelements #luxurytravels #shoreclubtc #luxurytravel #turksandcaicos #shoreclubturksandcaicos #design #anticasartoria #modamareitaliana #fashion #moda #anticasartoriabygiacomocinque #sandaliasdeluxo #sandaliasdemoda #sandaliasdecos #swarovski #hechoamano #modafemina #decosshoes #espadrilles (at The Shore Club on Long Bay Beach, Turks and Caicos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-c7_7ghb6R/?igshid=bu7xlmqho0yb
