Standing tall, it towers over you reflecting the world, almost disappearing into the sky as it copies its surroundings. You reach out to touch the crystal and gasp as you are copied, forgetting you are staring back at yourself. Read Reflecting The World here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Mirrors have played a big part in architecture and design for centuries, created by heating sparkling aluminium or silver into a molten state before pouring it onto a plate of glass that has been polished to perfection, the material that is reminiscent of a sparkling crystal has endless possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Used in architecture for a multitude of functions, it first made a big impact in Eqypt when the <em>Pharos of Alexandria<\/em> was created in 280BC, standing over 100 metres tall. Known as the lighthouse in English, the Pharos was created to help guide ships into port at night and provide a safe landmark during the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pharos-of-Alexandria-image-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pharos-of-Alexandria-image-1.jpg?resize=580%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reflecting The World\" class=\"wp-image-104788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pharos-of-Alexandria-image-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pharos-of-Alexandria-image-1.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pharos-of-Alexandria-image-1.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">At its apex is a mirror that reflected light during the day to function as the sparkling fire that was burned at night. Becoming one of the most prominent global examples of mirrors in architecture due to its function, it began to shape the way mirrors could be used for more than just their aesthetic appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">As mirrors were still greatly expensive and rare at the time, <em>The Hall of Mirrors at Versailles<\/em> was viewed as an outrageous and intense show of wealth. But the beauty of the 357 crystal-like mirrors that were situated throughout the palace could not be denied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Having the aesthetic function of reflecting the expansive garden outside and bringing the exterior of the palace into the interior of the building to show off the beauty and power of the monarch, Louis XIV, the mirrors transform the palace. The mirrors also functioned aesthetically at night-time, as although not being able to reflect the gardens, the candles that were lit were amplified and reflected in the mirrors, appearing as sparkling flames reflected throughout the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/VERSAILLES-MIRROR-1-FIN.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/VERSAILLES-MIRROR-1-FIN.jpg?resize=580%2C384&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reflecting The World\" class=\"wp-image-104790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/VERSAILLES-MIRROR-1-FIN.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/VERSAILLES-MIRROR-1-FIN.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/VERSAILLES-MIRROR-1-FIN.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>The Hall of Mirrors at Versailles <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the use of mirrors in modern architecture allow for a more sleek aesthetic. Polish firm Reform Atchitekt, founded by Marcin Tomaszewski, have taken using mirrors in architecture to a whole new level. <em>The Mirror House<\/em> is a two-story build located in a forested area surrounded by trees, and through the use of mirrors on the exterior of the bottom floor, the upper floor appears to float weightlessly among the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mirror-House-by-Reform-Architekt-fin.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mirror-House-by-Reform-Architekt-fin.jpg?resize=580%2C334&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reflecting The World\" class=\"wp-image-104785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mirror-House-by-Reform-Architekt-fin.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mirror-House-by-Reform-Architekt-fin.jpg?resize=300%2C173&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mirror-House-by-Reform-Architekt-fin.jpg?resize=768%2C443&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Mirror&nbsp;House by Reform Architekt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Through utilising the mirrors reflective properties, the build appears as something otherworldly as it reflects the surrounding trees and shining sun so that it appears to float through the forest.
