What was first style in architecture?how can we learn historyfrom architecture? The dwelling that pre- history manmade for himself about two and half millions years ago, was a cave,so the first style of architecture was little more than a rock with a natural hole in it. This early man ske nolanguage and was only concerned withlinking food to survive a verybasic existence. We donot know how manlearned to speak a language,nor whyhe began to built better and more practial places in which tolive,but both these things he came todo,partly perhaps as a result of his developing intelligence. He started building timber cabins and homes of green and leaes,skins and logs,did went on toadvance and improve his dwellings as he discovered things such as fire and metals around 8000 BC. The first great buildings showing a well established architecturalform,were the pyramids which the Egyptians built in nile valleyaround 4000 BC and also the settlements of sumeriayinmestapotemia around the same time. The earliest formal construction in british isler is stone henge,inwiltshire,probably begun about 1900 BC. A style of architecture is simplya type of structure,built for a particulars need,with available materials, and by the known methods of designing and construction of the day. When remains today of architecture,or buildings of earlier times,not only ells us what kind of briks and mortas,timber or other materials were used for buildings but alsohow people lived. So, ina way,it is living history,it isossible to see formthe written historical records that the waymen lived-how he worked,how well he was paid or rewarded,how wealthly he was,how he enterntained ?all greatly influenced what kind of house and ublic building he constructed. Also,whether he was at peace or at war. For instance,the magnificent classical period of the romans- which they erected tall, well-balaned,beautifully columned,buildings- came to a quick and when the Roman empire fall in the 15th century after Christ. For they were nlonger settled enough to devote time to the development of art of architecture. In the 18th century 100,the elegant and simple greogian style of architecture flourishing inengland,came to anabrupt end. This was due to the beginning of industrial revolution in late 1703-and when machines were first organized for use inindustry-Qute suddenly, different class of society had moneyand wanted to build grand houses. This resulted ina hange to anextravagent,elaborate and bold style,that was representative of the vatalitythat the new machine age gae to industryandpeople involved init. Today,in cities there is a style of architecture called high rise-you probablyknow there buildings as skyscrapers. Huge tall blocks o officer or flts some having as many as100,or more floors-there came tobe built because twentieth century man,his many parts of world,was runnig out of ground space,as more and more people came to live andwork incities,so,,with help of modern technology he found a wayof technology he found a wayof housing more people over the same area of land.
