BUILDING DETAIL
Building details result from functional use of material
In earliest civilizations building form was dictated by the techniques of binding, knotting,
typing, plaiting and weaving. Building in timber followed later and in nearly all civilizations
became the basis for architectural form such as the Greek Temple. Recognition of this is relatively
recent but is proved by numerous examples. Research in this field has established that the
Alhambra is Granada, for example, and Moorish architecture in general, originate from timber
construction. The treatment of interior walls, however, has its source in woven fabric (the ribbons
and astragals of Greek Buildings) although actually pressed into the gypsum by moulds, or inlaid
as “Azulejos” (glazed ceramic pieces). In some rooms of the Alcazar in Seville the corners are knit
together in the gypsum finish in exactly way that the hanging carpets of tents were knots at the
corners
