For those of us who are urban animals, the love of architecture comes naturally. I see architecture as the way Mankind says to Nature (not God but, rather, His Creation): This is our mark, our way of showing that we were here. Not as permanent as Nature's wonders, it's the closest we can come to making ourselves known for the ages. We did this! Alas, it is NOT forever. Thus, we celebrate it to intensify its importance in our own minds while we are here.
