This isn't actually actually a real structure but considering i am studying architectural computing its computer generated nature s acceptable. I have always been captivated by the buildings, cities and towns of fantasy worlds including Lord of the rings, Dinotopia, Final fantasy etc. They capture grandeur, they either defy or work harmoniously with the environment around them, and they are beautiful in there design. Furthermore, the size and relationship with nature and light especially have always really been an almost awe provoking sight, one that i could spend hours examining, apreciating and exploring. Whilst these two statues are still complete, the empire they represent has long since crumbled. I find tis very interesting, how architecture outlasts the men they created them. Often on holidays near the beach i go and see the ruined lighthouses and think of how they looked in their prime. Cities like rivendell, built by the elves on the cliffs by a waterfall is amazing natural, elegant and absorbs the spectacular surroundings. whilst fantasy may remain just that, fantasy, i would like to see the gap bridged as much as possible at least in theory and design until such a time when they can become a reality.
