What is Architecture ? (Continued)

Architecture is the imaginative blend of art and science in the design

of environments for people.

concepts into building images that can be constructed by others.
 Origin of Architecture Jordy
Rodriguez

It all started by Mesoamerican Architecture is the set of architectural traditions produced

by pre-columbian cultures and civilization of mesoamerica, such as:

The Olmec (first major civilization in guatemala and mexico),

Maya (Maya civilization was a mesoamerican civilization developed by the maya people
and noted for its hieroglyphic script),

Aztec (A native american people who ruled mexico and neighboring areas before the
spaniards conquered and built up an advance civilization and empire)
 Early Architecture
In early architecture people had used many materials in their builds.

Based on where the people lived they had made their builds out of those materials.

In the early days people had used caves to be protected and to stay warm for the
weather for the winter and environment.

Many materials that early people used are dirt, sand, stone wood and clay.
 Modern Architecture
Modern architecture breaks away from cookie-cutter design and
traditional aesthetics.

It strives to create home designs that go beyond standard ideas and

instead pursue projects inspired by layout, location, and function.

Instead of opting for the traditional triangular-based or craftsman

style roof lines, Homes might have multiple roof lines at different
levels, showing off the complexity of the overall design
