St Paul’s Cathedraal
Posted on March 26th, 2013 No commentsThe building in the picture is St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Today, this building is “a domineering element in the city’s skyline.” Many tourists go to London to visit the Cathedral. At the same time, it is an important religious building. The most impressive fact about this building is the fact that it took a decade to be designed and 40 years to be actually constructed. With al the beautiful details that are presented in the building, it was clearly well designed and well prosecuted. Sir Christopher Wren, the architect behind this building, started his architecture career from learning physics and engineering. His deep understanding of physical structures make him a better architect.
