Phenomenology movement helped in providing legitimacy to the idea of historical buildings having valuable lessons for all the contemporary designers. It was a challenge to post-war modern architecture to accept the history thus, eventually it led to postmodern architecture. The idea of phenomenology caused a throwback to architecture due to modernism, which lacked its role of communication between the user and the built environment in which he
see the ionic pillars and rounded windows above them. These refer back to roman architecture, yet they collide with the blocky windows above and too the side of the door. The windows flanking the door are completely square, yet they have a keystone set at the top of each, as seen on the elevation sketch. This creates a contrast between the Romanesque and modern architecture. Furthermore there is gothic architecture along the spire. The points along the railing, and the pointiness of the spire itself

According to the source of the Importance of the encounter with Buddhism for modern science, there is increasing argument that Buddhism can potentially have a dominant and efficient influence on modern science, primarily at two levels: 1) the detailed research level evident in the study of mind 2) the epistemological affect on the

have spent my vacations in making models. These started off with making simple wooden pieces to reproducing complex objects such as sky scrapers and bridges by making use of cardboard as the principal medium. Making model is became my passion. Architecture tempt me with a hunger to explore how science and technology can be used to enhance the performance of buildings both socially and environmentally, it has brought out the dichotomy of my attribute,
