Architecture+in+Padua

Man, in each time of his history, has felt the necessity to show off his thought and emotion using his creativity. These creative impulses have taken shape in different ways according to the personality of each person. Some people have a natural predisposition to express their ideas using sounds, others using words or pictures. This is the reason why music, literature, painting, sculpture and architecture arise from people’s peculiar talents. All together they constitute our culture. Some artistic manifestations are more linked to material life then others; architecture, for example, arises from people’s basic need to protect themselves from the weather or from danger; therefore, houses were the first buildings ever built. On the other hand, architecture is a wonderful form of art. The great architecture lays at the origin of our life and comes out directly from the human instincts, as the famous architect Le Corbusier says in his //Vers une architecture//.

We have chosen to write about architecture because in Padua there are many historical and well-known buildings. Our article deals with three important monuments - __Pedrocchi Café__, __Bo Palace__ and __Scrovegni’s Chapel__ - because they are strictly linked to undergraduates. Indeed, it is believed that university students shouldn’t enter these places otherwise they won’t take their degree.
