Architecture Class: 2nd Day Back!
Today in class Rafael spoke about the pyramids, the Egyptian culture, and the overall effect they had on the progression of architecture. I've always loved Egyptian culture because it's always left those, including me, whenever examining the pyramids or other unique relics. What I really liked was that even though the design of the pyramid is very simple, seeing the 500ft tall monument in person can truly make one feel small. Egypt is so important, especially to architecture, because they are one of the very first empires to really use architecture on a monumental scale. The construction of these pyramids truly details the beginning steps, the foundation, in which us humans began our architectural journey. All the way up until the present. The pyramids may seem a sight for sore eyes, but one must realize that without this wonder of the world we wouldn't be where we are today.

ReplyDeleteAnyways, the work of the egyptians is pretty amazing, especially at the scale and size of it.
I agree that Egyptian architecture is important and that is is quite an amazing sigh as you mentioned.
