I think therefore I am

René Descartes was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and writer.

He has been dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy," and much of subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which continue to be studied closely.

His influence in mathematics is also apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system that is used in plane geometry and algebra being named for him, and he was one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution.

In his theology, he insists on the absolute freedom of God’s act of creation.

I think :

I'm a designer, I'm a designer ,

I have to design,

Therefore , I must have good idea . Therefore , I need to make thing possible.

Therefore , I must always gets ready. Therefore, I must always been update.

Therefore, I must solved the problem and make it news.

Saint Susanna

I chose this building because it is the oldest building in the city of Rome. It is the starting of church in the Baroque Art.

The greatest manifestation of the Baroque spirit in architecture is found in the facade of the Roman church of Santo Suasanna designed by Carlo Maderno (1556 -1629). The tall central section of the facade projects forward from the horizontal lower story and the scroll buttresses that connect the two levels are narrow and set at a sharp angle . The vertical trust of the design is further enhanced by elimination of the arch framing the pediment over the doorway. The sculptural effect is enhanced by the recessed voids which contain statues .

The church consists of a single nave, with a circular apse forming two side-chapels. The frescoes of the central nave by Baldassare Croce represent six scenes from the life of Susanna found in the Book of Daniel. The frescoes on the curved side of the apse shows Saint Susanna being threatened by Maximian, but defended by the angel of God and to the right, Susanna refusing to worship the idol Jupiter. Nebbia's frescoes of the dome of the apse depict Saint Susanna flanked on either side by angels with musical instruments. Behind the high altar, the painting depicting the beheading of Saint Susanna is by Tommaso Laureti.

The Church of Santa Susanna is one of the oldest titles in the city of Rome.In the 4th century it was marked with the designation ad duas domos .
