While being driven through the countryside in England, I am fascinated by the array of beautiful brick homes perched along the narrow roads, surrounded by miles of greenery. So it was interesting that I stumbled upon a modern take in Oxfordshire on these wonderful structures. THE OLD THE NEW – click below on photo for a tour
I don’t know about you, but when I travel, I spend a lot of time looking up, to all the structures making up a city, a town, or a village. So naturally this article about 20 best cities for architectural lovers stuck the perfect cord on this chilly Sunday morning while I sip on green tea and scroll the madness of the internet.

I welcome all visionaries who posses the skill to be forward thinkers – taking a risk to create something out of the norm, unique and unexpected. To leave their mark on society for decades to come.

In the meantime, you can read all about MoMA here, and see the photographs I’ve taken (not the aerial) just in case you are as nuts about architecture as I am: I am also excited to report that since this marvel is complete, I am going to shift my focus on the renovation of the convention center/Moscone center just across the street from MoMa. {photo credit of aerial view}
