"The Master Builder" by Henrik Ibsen is a compelling drama that delves into themes of ambition, identity, and the pursuit of artistic perfection. Set in a small Norwegian town, the play follows the story of Halvard Solness, a successful architect who is haunted by his past and consumed by his desire for greatness. As Solness grapples with his own insecurities and fears, he becomes entangled in a web of relationships with those around him, including his wife Aline, his employee Ragnar, and the young Hilde Wangel. Through intense dialogue and psychological depth, Ibsen explores the complexities of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition. As the play unfolds, Solness's obsession with power and control leads to a series of tragic events that ultimately force him to confront the limitations of his own mortality. With its richly drawn characters and thought-provoking themes, "The Master Builder" remains a timeless masterpiece of world literature, celebrated for its profound insights into the human condition and its enduring relevance to contemporary audiences.

"The Architect Builds Visible History." Vincent Scully Which architect designed the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty? Who put a Chippendale pediment atop a skyscraper and quickly created a landmark of contemporary architecture? Who was the only American architect to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery during the Civil War? Which architect designed a castle in California for William Randolph Hearst? Master Builders answers these and scores of other questions about more than 100 architects and builders who have left indelible marks on American architecture. This unique guide puts faces with America's most well-known and loved buildings--from the U.S. Capitol and Washington Monument through the first skyscrapers and landmarks of the Post-Modern movement. "Why should you want to know more about these architects?" asks Roger K. Lewis in his introduction. "The reason is simple. You are undeniably connected to the built environment that you inhabit, use, see and respond to. You affect building design, and building design affects you." Can you pair these master builders with their works?

The advent of the airplane and skyscraper in 1920s and ‘30s America offered the population an entirely new way to look at the world: from above. The captivating image of an airplane flying over the rising metropolis led many Americans to believe a new civilization had dawned. In Impossible Heights, Adnan Morshed examines the aesthetics that emerged from this valorization of heights and their impact on the built environment. The lofty vantage point from the sky ushered in a modernist impulse to cleanse crowded twentieth-century cities in anticipation of an ideal world of tomorrow. Inspired by great new heights, American architects became central to this endeavor and were regarded as heroic aviators. Combining close readings of a broad range of archival sources, Morshed offers new interpretations of works such as Hugh Ferriss’s Metropolis drawings, Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion houses, and Norman Bel Geddes’s Futurama exhibit at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Transformed by the populist imagination into “master builders,” these designers helped produce a new form of visuality: the aesthetics of ascension. By demonstrating how aerial movement and height intersect with popular “superman” discourses of the time, Morshed reveals the relationship between architecture, art, science, and interwar pop culture. Featuring a marvelous array of never before published illustrations, this richly textured study of utopian imaginings illustrates America’s propulsion into a new cultural consciousness.

To be a wise Master Builder you need to be a kingdom leader. And to lead in the kingdom and walk in kingdom authority, you need to know how to use the keys to the kingdom that Jesus gave us. The Lord disclosed to me what I would consider to be the "key of keys" for kingdom leadership. He said, "If My leaders want to walk in the authority of the Lion, they need to walk in the meekness of the Lamb."
