- His work The Tempietto caught my eye and how the proportions of the building look perfect.
- His work looks as if it was a sculpture, and shows a great example of what the traditional values of a Classical building should look like

- I like the fact that we had a wide variety of art styles he mastered. He didn't stop at just being a sculptor or poet, he continued to widen his skills in different styles of art.
- I also chose him because of his wide experience with different art styles I feel that he was able to add everything he has learned into his architecture design.
