Inspiring Design

Whenever I travel, I always pay particular attention to architectural and design detail. I have no background in either graphic arts or architecture and I usually don’t know what I’m looking at, but for some reason I am drawn by them. Whether it be using shells for decoration in Thailand or the ancient Saadian Tombs in Marrakech, here are some examples of art and architecture that have touched me in some way over the years.
Statuary, Grand Palace, Bangkok
Palace decor, Bangkok
Rotunda, City Hall, Dublin, Ireland
Pantheon, Rome, Italy
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul, Turkey
Ionic Column, Ephesus, Turkey
Cathedral of St. Andrew, Amalfi, Italy

Hall of Twelve Columns, Saadian Tombs, Marrakech, Morocco
