Architecture is part of engineering and art, so it's only fitting to create
a section about beautiful structures around the world. With course background
in 19th and 20th century architecture and a Bachelor and Master degree
in Architectural Engineering, personal knowledge will be poured onto this
page. Though, visitors will have to wait awhile... information needs to
be gathered and architecture is not of big interest at the moment. In the
future, this page will compose of images (i.e. DWG/CAD AutoCAD files),
floor plans, elevations, cross sections and detailed info on specific buildings/structures.
