Book excerpt: One look around you, and you will find yourself amidst a chaos of construction a myriad of infrastructures captured as art in the form of architecture. But have you ever wondered where all these buildings came from? Were they derived from Vitruvius ancient design principles or inspired by Frank Gehrys Guggenheim Museum? Architecture is not so easily unveiled, as it boasts a complex interplay of history, politics, geography, creativity, and more. Yet, in this collection, I will be setting it simple. It begins with a journey through history, exploring the prominent architectural styles, and eventually delves into the latest masterpieces that capture our attention. By the end of this book, you will have a notion of what architecture could truly mean when fuelled with enough curiosity to explore the world around us.
