Architecture is a very interpretive art that incorporates the use of various styles and techniques.
For centuries, architectural fetishes have played a significant role in the creation of buildings and structures all over the world. The writer examines the use and techniques of fetish architecture as it applies to several time periods. Extensive bibliography included. In this discussion, one of the early works by da Vinci, will be used as a departure point, and the fine art qualities of line, color, composition, texture and light, will be examined within that painting, as well as through the work of Caravaggio, Gainsborough, Turner and Frith. Architecture may have witnessed more changes in the 20th century than at any other time aside from the shift from mud huts to more permanently constructed buildings.
