My Favorite Piece of Architecture



This beautiful building is called the Grand Palais, built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900. I was lucky enough to visit the palace late last year and was immediately blown away by it's elegant glass ceiling. It was first created as an exhibition hall and today still houses exhibits from around the world. It's basement is home to an internal police station which helps protect the exhibits. I love this building because of it's design- encompassing all the charm, charisama and elegance that I wish for in my future designs. The Grand Palais has lasted throughout the centuries as one of Paris's most elegent buildings and will continue to do so for centuries to come.
