Beauty is relative in architecture, as well as in personal expression.

 Beauty is relative in architecture, as well as in personal expression. 

         Beauty is relative whether it be in architectural projects or in personal expression; reaching beauty by necessity or willfully. The photo taken into consideration suggests that on the left side constitutes are more refined and purposeful approach while the photo on the right suggests that the architectural language is mostly constructed out of need. The other photos depicting an indigenous person and a contemporary model suggest that beauty is relative. Both of the previous propositions suggest that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

       The pictures depicting the used of pillar can be interpreted in various ways. One perspective can arise from the left photo to be more organizing in the design of the space with clear symmetry and though out design. Continuing this line of thought, the photo on the right suggests that the utilization of the pillars is represented as one of need rather than aesthetics. Another view that can be extrapolated from these pictures is that the picture on the right yet again is born out of clear and obvious organized design. The picture on the right, however, can draw the perspective that the pillars since they represent beauty as the first picture suggests; beauty is being brought from the first picture to the second picture and both of these representations are beautiful because the first one is considered to be the latter. 

     Beauty is relative. This is the view that the picture of the indigenous person and the contemporary model suggest. The indigenous person has many alternations in his appearance, conforming to what the standard of beauty is in his culture’s circle. The contemporary model is also seen to be subject to alterations on her natural appearance to conform to the beauty standards of the modern world. It is possible that when there is a culture clash between these two persons, both of them might believe themselves to be the higher standard of beauty and depict the other person as strange or unattractive. This suggest that beauty is relative. 

     Both of the propositions presented previously suggest that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One can view the picture of the pillars in various ways. These perspectives can range to one of them being beautiful and the other a resemblance of chaos born out of necessity while one can also think that both of them are beautiful. The picture the depicts the indigenous person and the contemporary model also suggest that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Both of these persons, because the view beauty in different spectrums, both can consider themselves to be more beautiful than their counterpart.
