We interact and experience architecture every day. It is physically impossible not to and because of this, it is incredibly easy to take it for granted and to forget about all the thought and care that was taken to create such huge feats.

During my visit in June, 2015 at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial across from Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., I was intrigued by how much detail was shown throughout the entire sculpture giving its presence a powerful message. The building contains a large sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and two speeches that he wrote having a significant impact in the United States of America. There were multiple parties involved in the completion of the artwork, but who was behind it was Henry Bacon. Daniel…
