Introduction to Architecture
Design and innovation builds on precedent, on ideas and concepts that have evolved over time.
Architecture uses precedents from social and cultural history p yand applies these influences to contemporary buildings, forms and structures.
Having a historical understanding of buildings is an essential part of architectural design because it allows a relationship between the material, physical and formal
developments that have been previously explored by other architects.
Reacting against, or responding to these ideas has been the basis of architectural evolution.
