"Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων arkhitekton "architect", from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder") is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements."

Architecture affects us every day – you can't walk down the street without seeing it and if you've got loads of trading dosh you don't have to spend it just on a yacht: a nice house won't make you seasick. This place is pretty impressive (but it's not on RightMove and you need to be a member of the spirit world).

A thought: recent architectural destruction in the Middle East just adds to the appalling humanitarian atrocities. :(
