Gothic Arches But Russko Spires

The Day Of Their Return.

Inside the University of Virgil, which is named after neither the city, Nova Roma, nor the planet, Aeneas, but their star, Virgil, Chunderban Desai traverses a maze of:

courts
lanes
stairs
small gardens
trees
memorial plaques
statues
ogive windows
porticos
Gothic arches
Russko spires
soaring vaultings
bulging domes

On Aeneas, ancient Terrestrial architectural styles have not only blended over the centuries but also soared and bulged in the low gravity: a challenge but also a clear direction for both graphic artists and film set designers.

Kaor, Paul!

And these Russko spires and onion domes strongly indicates there were some Russian influences in the early history of Aeneas.

Ad astra and Merry Christmas! Sean
