architecture as an obsession
(perpetually a work in progress)

The inspiration is simple: architecture. The history and development of the structures, and the careers of the designers and photographers.

From the stone work of Puma Punka to the new super high-rise developments in Dubai and China, this is a visual collection of world architecture, since architecture is a visual art — it must be seen to be appreciated and enjoyed.

The purpose of this site is to encourage further investigation into architecture, in all its aspects, from the buildings, architects, and photographers.
