From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but a …

In the pursuit of studying architecture, I always wondered what inspired me to do so? Was it the form, the function, the divinity of spaces within and without, the play of light against the darkness, the hidden structures underneath the beautiful skins of glass.. I think its was the mystery of Architecture itself. Like a universe, spaced within its own eternity, wrapped in it's own mass and boldly embodying the human identity itself- the need for space and spirit. Where's that kind of Architect …
