Imagine if Socrates could journey through time to this moment, here and now. He would recognize and be familiar with many things around us. He would surely feel that in some sense, the West is heir to his civilization. He would notice the visual style that embodies Greek democratic ideals, a style which embodies harmony, order, and freedom. He would notice today that the West has built its temples to liberty and justice, and to money and power, in Greco-Roman style. Socrates would identify this style in The Casa de Nariño, (Spanish for House of Nariño) or Palacio de Nariño (Spanish for Palace of Nariño) in Bogotá, the official home and principal workplace of the President of Colombia.
