Image that inspired me to be an architect

This is perhaps the defining image which has shaped my dream to one day become an architect. Dubai is home to awe-inspiring architectural pieces such as this building to the left, The world's lone 7 star hotel - "The Burj al Arab". This image has inspired me to be an architect because it showcases just how much the profession is able to alter an urban landscape, and how masterpieces are created when objects are represented through the architectural design, in this instance, the hotel resembles a sail of an Arabian dhow.
