Some things tend to spread much quicker, um, for example, artistic, or architectural styles, such as domes used in architecture.

On one hand were the buildings produced for the wealthy or for civic purposes, which tended to echo the architecture of the past and to use traditional styles of ornamentation.

Such buildings, however, were viewed in a category separate from "fine" architecture, and in fact were often designed by engineers and builders rather than architects.

The development of modern architecture might in large part be seen as an adaptation of this sort of functional building and its pervasive application for daily use.

Indeed, in this influential book Toward a New Architecture, the Swiss architect Le Corbusier illustrated his text with photographs of American factories and grain storage silos, as well as ships, airplanes, and other industrial objects.

The fundamental premise of modern architecture was that the appearance of the building should exhibit the nature of its materials and forms of physical support.

This often led to effects that looked odd from a traditional standpoint but that became hallmarks of modern architecture for precisely this reason.

For example, in traditional architecture, stone or brick walls served a structural role, but in a steel-beam building the walls were essentially hung from the internal skeleton of steel beams, which meant that walls and corners no longer needed to be solid but could be opened up in unexpected ways.

Such buildings were so different from any previous form of architecture that they quickly acquired a new name—the skyscraper.

It's about the Mayans, who, as you remember, flourished in Central America and had a culture that was quite advanced in art, architecture, astronomy...

Cultural influences were of three types: the bringing of objects, the transfer of craft workers, and the introduction of massive civil architecture.

Architecture of this era reflected this with even the largest of the fortified towns and hill forts containing no more than clusters of medium-sized structures.

But the effect of Roman civil architecture was significant;the sheer size of space enclosed within buildings like the basilica of London must have been astonishing.

This was an architecture of dominance in which subject peoples were literally made to feel small by buildings that epitomized imperial power.

Perhaps the most collaborative of all was architecture.

So she just had like…unnatural gift for architecture?

As densities increased, domestic architecture became larger, culminating in crowded pueblos. Some scholars expand on this idea by emphasizing a corresponding need for arable land to feed growing numbers of people: construction of small dams, reservoirs, terraces, and field houses indicates that farmers were intensifying their efforts during the 1200s.

Today, we are taking a little detour from the grand styles of public architecture we’ve been studying to look at residential architecture in the United States.

The arch is among the many important structural breakthroughs that have characterized architecture throughout the centuries.

Because architecture grows out of human needs and aspirations, it clearly communicates cultural values.

Architecture is a three-dimensional form. It utilizes space, mass, texture, line, light, and color.

To be architecture, a building must achieve a working harmony with a variety of elements.

In order for the structure to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose, architecture employs methods of support that, because they are based on physical laws, have changed little since people first discovered them—even while building materials have changed dramatically.

Even development in architecture has been the result of major technological changes.

Materials and methods of construction are integral parts of the design of architecture structures.

Of course in early architecture—such as igloos and adobe structures—there was no such equipment, and the skeleton and skin were often one.

Much of the world’s great architecture has been constructed of stone because of its beauty, permanence, and availability.
