I prefer the mechanical side of design: This is MY machine.

Wow Ty...those are some awesome houses!
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Soren Kierkegaard

cathedrals and those old gothic style buildings with alot of geometric shapes are kick ass! for some reason i like them more than modern architecture.
