reality-vision

Reality vision: [as seen in Pasadena] Victorian times. Something that always intrigues me about Victorian architecture. How to extrapolate it to contemporary times? For example, the treatments and asymmetry seem to embrace a reflection of the natural context, but a formal-Classical stance, and stand-out colors, seem to highlight the artificial object. And then there is the issue of thermal-energetic containment (it is in the Victorian period that we see the hiding of integral mechanisms behind the wall). Exposure, or concealment?
