Favourite Architecture


Petra 
Even though this building is ancient and classical in nature, it is really amazing how they created the intricate facade by carving it directly from the cliff side.  It uses a very unique way of manufacturing a building, by beginning with a solid and removing the negative space to reveal its form -the contrast between the rough surface of the rock and the smooth carvings emphasising this feat.
