I believe it's correct that long buildings have a slight 'lift' in their top lines to overcome the natural appearance of a droop along their length!A lot of classical architecture have widening features to slightly exaggerate a sensational of scale as part of presenting the building. For example, Greek architecture featuring Doric columns have slightly wider dimensions at the top. Very effective at eye level on the ground.Call it the human dimension, but text-book accurate pictures of architecture often look a bit false. A series of slight corrections to perspective of only a few pixels can make all the difference when creating the illusion of weight suspended in space.
