Port Meirion

The visit to Port Meirion was fantastic. An Architect dreamed that an area of outstanding natural beauty could be developed without spoiling it. The village was completed when he was 90 years old in 1976. Here are some of my photos. Notice that he has used colour very cleverly - the houses and buildings are the colour of sand, sea and sky. What a visionary! His work should be required study for all student architects as I think you will agree when you browse through the photos. Just double click on the picture and it will take you to my Picasa Web Album.
