Now, take a close look at this 'epic' ink-wash drawing !
This is a sketch/design I made in 1990 (see Sketchbook #13-25).
'Prophetic!', said SKBB of Farnborough.
'Astounding similarities to the crap design on the right', exclaimed one blind builder.

Master Architect: Len Breen.

Now, if you are not yet convinced of my brilliance, take a very close look at this amazing likeness to my masterpiece.
This is the Taipei_101 building completed in 2004, remaining the world's tallest, and "post-modern" to boot, until surpassed by the Burj Kahlifa in 2009.
'Wow!', said SKBB of Farnborough.
'Is there no end to your genius, Len?', exclaimed the same blind builder, quoted earlier.

"Post-modern" Architect: C Y Lee & Partners.

ARCHITECTURE
At the University of Melbourne, I studied Engineering for one year before moving to the School of Architecture and Planning.

After five years of study, I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch). After a further period of four years of practice in the profession, I was registered as an Architect.

After building up my own practice in Melbourne Australia, I travelled and worked on major projects in Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Italy and the United States.

While working in Italy I was recognised as 'Dottore in Architettura'.

My own practice, then established in the United Kingdom, later included: urban planning, graphic arts, computer graphics, interior design, exhibition design, education and professional consultancy.

Further post-graduate studies included, Advanced Studies in Fine Art (Diploma of the CSAD), Computing and Computer Graphics, Ecomomics and Mathematics.
