Why study architectural technology and design?
The evolution of architectural forms is influenced by culture and fashion, society and economics, climate and geography, security and self-preservation.
For architecture to be able to respond to these factors, we need to apply technology.
In the past, technological limitations imposed restrictions on architecture. These days, technology is almost limitless and architectural expression can develop in exciting ways.
