Welcome!

Welcome to my blog on architecture!
My interest in architecture arose in middle school when I would go with my father to see his development projects followed by my first study of Greek and Roman structures. In high school, an Art History course further spurred my interest and made me more interested in art and art forms in general. Now, double majoring in Human and Organizational Development and Art History, I thought it would be interesting to examine both the artistic and stylistic qualities of architecture as well as the motivations and practical utilizations behind it and the implications certain structures represent in a larger context. For example, architecture can be used to distinguish one city from the next or serve as a symbol of a country. It can symbolize power, piety, and other political and religious meanings. Architecture has the ability to set a tone not only for the surrounding area but for the interior space as well. My interest in interior design, therefore, also serves as an incentive to look further into architecture, as it is dictated by the larger, overall plan. Lastly, the unbelievable variability in style and use make uncovering the underlying motivations and meaning incredibly interesting.
