Es jónico, ¿verdad?

Built between 1857 and 1858, Holmwood House is one of the most prominent buildings designed by Alexander Thomson.

Ya hace 200 años del nacimiento de Alexander Thomson (1817-1875), conocido popularmente como “Thomson el griego” debido al uso de elementos de influencia clásica tales como las columnas jónicas. Sus edificios, por toda Escocia, forman parte de la celebración en un festival único – con paseos, visitas, charlas, publicaciones y una nueva obra de arte inspirada en su trabajo.
