Past and Future: Architecture and History (I) and (II)
In terms of duration and complexity, the history of architecture is comparable to that of humanity. The Neolithic period, roughly 10000 BC, or simply the time when people stopped living in caves and began deciding how they wanted their homes to feel and look, could be considered the precise beginning of architecture. The architecture we’re discussing today is frequently evaluated in terms of sight and is subject to ocular perception, but the desire to create an architectural artifact was motivated by much more than just the desire to create something beautiful.
