Rome Wasn't Built in a Day

Check out our Trump Tower project that makes beautiful use of Roman groin arches!

Travel is one of the most inspiring of human activities.  It literally allows us to remove ourselves from the ordinary and to experience the extraordinary.  Travel makes the world a smaller, more connected place and allows for the exchanges of great ideas.  Everyone should make the effort from time to time.  We took 3 weeks this past October to explore/re-explore Italy, Greece and Turkey.  Anyone with an appreciation for art, architecture and human ingenuity will find themselves impressed time and again by this region.  From the Greek contribution of open air theaters and storied colonades to the Roman arches and aqueduct systems and Turkey's Byzantine style of architecture with its rich use of ornamental domes, colorful mosaics, and lavish decorations, our current architectural and engineering feats will always be built upon the foundation of these  initial artistic engineering marvels.

We were delighted to attend a week long event hosted by the Huntsville Museum of  Art in Huntsville Alabama.  One of the highlights of the week was attending a talk given by Gloria Vanderbilt discussing the new book authored by Wendy  Goodman about Gloria's life, The World of Gloria Vanderbilt.  We have had  several ocassions to spend time with Gloria and are always amazed to be in the  company of someone who epitomizes a chapter right out of American history.  So  talented at so many things, Gloria in particular is one of our favorite artists and we are so fortunate to own several of her paintings.  The Gala event was a beautiful evening directed by our dear friend Christopher Madkour and his amazing team.  Additionally, there were the silent and live auctions and the fabulous tour of the surrounding gorgeous antebellum homes.  A great time in a great city spent with fabulous people.
