Way before modern architecture, and classic European architecture, actually there is the oldest architecture of all. And we could call it as ancient architecture, why? because most of them hand made and using nature as its basic material, also nature took important role in here.

The role of nature, could be found in the landscape. Most of the architecture using the landscape as the basic foundation, as the result, the building almost blended with the landscape, its a bit hidden to be precisely. One of the example is Cliff Palace in Colorado. The place is also one of the reason Moving To Colorado.

Modern day technology allows for a more complex design when creating the patterns of geometrical shapes that are used for the production of buildings. In the present day the modern perspective leaves a lot of consideration out of the process, with the design of buildings in common areas of living. In retrospect the schooling of an institutional system, had no windows, in the original part of the school, for natural sunlight to enter into the classes, or hallways. This reflection goes into the structures of the modern day civilized areas, of the economically focused on construction of buildings, to not have the natural habitat of nature, present. The comparison is dependent on the view of what is considered important.

There is a connection from the classical days of the design of building to the modern day style. In the overall decision of the design, the whole inside to the outer accessibility area to include common, modern day, and casual access, but in timed sequenced. Making available the areas of use for whatever purpose chosen, in the designated parts of the building. This accessibility includes the population of the area surrounding the building; availability of such a resource is a step towards combining a highly technological possibility, with a social aspect. By integrating and applying a technological implementation, to include a larger mass of people, is in need of the insights of the many different degrees of intuitional thinking. A process that should, as a principal include the natural light of the sun, as a devised source of the natural habitual construction of the design.

This article will give a brief introduction to architecture, its origins and a look at how important it is in the world today and in the past.
Architecture is the practice of design buildings and other physical structures. It is often considered a form of art and science due to the massive amount of technical knowledge required to implement a design that has been created from nothing.
Architects have many factors to consider when constructing a building such as mass, texture, materials, light/shadow, cost, construction and technology. All of these factors are manipulated in order to create an end design that appears both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
