Your eyes lie to you and ancient architects knew it. Entasis is the barely-there curve built into columns so they don’t look weak or concave from a distance. The Greeks used it on places like the Parthenon (which famously doesn’t have a single straight line): columns swell subtly at mid-height, tricking your brain into reading perfection. It’s not decoration. It’s perceptual engineering proof that great architecture isn’t about straight lines, it’s about how humans see. #architect #architecturel
