On our first day, I was not only impressed by the stunning monuments surrounding me, but also by the delicate and thoughtful way that architecture engaged with the space. Walking through the MET was an emotional journey as we witnessed the story of the world unfold before our eyes. Every space was meticulously designed to transport me back in time, from the materials to the lighting and even the sounds. This experience confirmed for me that architecture does more than just provide a space for people to interact, explore, and experience. Architecture is also the keeper of the stories of the past and the future.
