Document Summary
However, some older structures give us an indication of how early people adapted their local materials for shelter and other needs. Egyptian, 3100 311 bc: egyptian tombs, art, and hieroglyphs have lasted through the millennia to give some insight into that civilization, the egyptians used their understanding of the world as they built structures and furniture for their daily needs. The pyramids exemplify the egyptians" architectural and engineering achievements. We still see the influences in today"s structures: the egyptians developed post-and-lintel (trabeated) construction to span their roofs and interior spaces. Their columnar hypostyle halls allowed them to create larger interior spaces than were possible in earlier times. Context, container, and contents: we shall look at design movements as an integrated or contextual part of society including technology , and the process of constructing buildings (cid:523)containers(cid:524) , and their interiors and furniture (cid:523)contents(cid:524).
