    The document describes two architectural works: the Taj Mahal from 1648 and the School of Music in Lisbon from 2008. For the Taj Mahal, it notes that it appears to float on clouds when viewed from across the river, its red sandstones signify Persian imperialism, and it is framed by an arch to highlight its majestic appearance. Its white marble reflects purity and glory, and its large size represents the emperor's majestic love. For the School of Music, it mentions designing for an interior/exterior relationship and light equilibrium, using a blind facade volume, proper scaling of the auditorium and patio for noise protection, and classrooms of appropriate size, using concrete and wood materials.
