My name is Sabita and I am 14 years old. I attend the Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice and I have a great passion for art. This is a sketch of the Seagram house that is located in Manhattan. It was one of the many sketches that we did on our first trip, an architectural walking tour of Manhattan. It also happens to be one of the sketches that I am most proud of.

On our architectural tour, we looked at several places, including Paley Park, The American Telephone and Telegraph Building (currently known as the Sony building), the Chrysler Building, St. Patrick's Cathedral and of course the Seagram house. I find the Seagram building to be very magnificent because of the fact that the skeleton of the building is visible.

I grew up in Trinidad so I was never really familiar with these buildings before. The Seagram house, and all the other buildings that we looked at, affected my thinking of Architecture in many ways. Before I saw Architecture to be just work but when we talked about these buildings I started to realize how much more architecture means. Architecture can really set the tone for a community and the way people act and think. Throughout these classes I both learned and accomplished a lot and, believe it or not, from this one sketch I was inspired and began to feel capable of accomplishing so much.
