What do you like about this subject?

Architecture is in the backdrop of everything we do. It affects us physically and psychologically. It is important to understand why and how buildings evolved based on materials, culture, and budget.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

I spent my early years in Turkey and Greece surrounded by ancient and classical buildings. These left an indelible imprint on my psyche. However I graduated with a Master degree in a program based on Bauhaus philosophy. So, I have an ambivalence as I stand between both approaches seemingly in a chasm!

Hi, I don't think this pattern is oriental, I believe it is Renaissance in origin or even Islamic.  My guess is that it has no value.  If it were carved more ornately, perhaps yes.  You could double check
