Architecture reflects culture but I was watching DW-TV in the internet and came across Ludwig II and the Neuschwanstein castle. Essentially, instead of culture, it reflects the person. If we are to describe Ludwig, we could say that he was eccentric and it showed in the structures he had built. It wasn't that he was extravagant, it's just as if he had his own world. Nearing the end of his life, a psychiatrist who wasn't even able to examine him declared him mentally unfit. It's very sad, really. But onto the castle, it looks like it came right out of a fairytale. Actually, the Disney castles are based on it. Inside a romantic theme (by this I mean as in opera) is followed and everywhere are insignias and objects that resemble a swan (it is named Neuschwanstein). Except for some rooms that show gothic features, it's like a living tribute to Wagner's operas. Anyway, I was just wondering whether there are other buildings today that mainly reflected the person, instead of the environment and the culture.
