Accompaniment of architecture with man happens through the emotional responses to form and the kinship of the language shared by both: not to produce an actual 'Photograph' of a human trait, but as a representation of it's mood, generated and modified. From situational human expression to 'gestures' in buildings or fro personality to 'character' of from, in either qualitative or quantitative aspects: qualitative - as form, shape and decoration; quantitative - as size, proportion, age and visual weight. As hard, soft, childish, depressive, extrovert, fair, introvert, blonde....And as heavy, skinny, short, old, bulky, chubby, slender, graceful, attractive......
