and those he inspired in a modern practical sense: http://www.geocities.com/flyingconcrete/index.htm

of course you'll have to worry about the alignment of the sun on your own time... *grin*

That temple is one of the coolest I've been in. :D
Man, people choose to make the ugliest giant sculptures these days. I miss giant rock people. :D

I'm sort of torn between the timeless stylistic appeal and astronomically-aware Egyptian architecture, and an actual moving castle (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3235261/Walking-house-can-escape-floods-or-unruly-neighbours.html). Maybe they can be combined somehow?
