Aleppo, Syria

Aleppo I liked even more than Damascus. There are more public monuments still existing. This is my favorite mosque yet, a truly heroic mosque. Jumbling the tower and entry at a key corner intersection of the city. Aleppo has been a great surprise and a great break through for my studies. I will be back here to study Aleppo more in May. Note the wood element in the forground, these are scattered throughout the cıty. I hope they can stay and be restored. I found an exhıbıt that looked like there was interest in such an idea. If only Amerıcan tax payers money could go towards keepıng other cultures rather than threatening them.

"The room is the beginning of architecture. It is the place of the mind. You in the room with its dimensions, its structure, its light respond to its character, its spiritual aura, recognizing, that whatever the human proposes and makes, becomes a life."
