Welcome to the ride

Cities have always interested me. The architecture of cities, their history and designs have made cities what they are today and part of this comes from referring to other cultures and their monuments as a guide. The Romans looked to the Greeks, and the rest of the world looked to Rome because of their marvels. In cities such as Washington D.C. and Paris, both Greek and Roman styles have been incorporated into the cities.

I have been fortunate enough to visit both cities and see first-hand the monuments that have become famous. Of the two, D.C. intrigued me the most with its style and architecture and made me far more interested in the design of cities.





By looking at cities and their architecture, stories, secrets and history are all revealed and show the marvels carved in stone or hidden behind friezes, façades, and sculptures.

I want to discover all the architecture, urbanism, and history that cities have to offer. The journey from each culture and the cities that they have created has just begun.
