Ancient Architecture & Future Ruins

You hardly ever think of all the planning and work that goes into

the creation of a building as you enter it. 



There had to be plans drawn up, materials gathered and organized, 

workers that needed to be hired to sweat, grunt and create.



Have you ever thought about the architects of antiquity? Hands and

minds that hewed edifices from rock extracted of our mothers body. 



Cities like Uxmal, Athens, Xi'an, Rome, Angkor Wat speak silently 

as we gaze and enter their sacred spaces and wonder in rapture 



at the feats of our kind. How shall our ruins appear to the future 

tourists walking through broken glass in our palaces of consumption?
