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.
