Activity 1.1.1 History of Civil Engineering and Architecture

Introduction

Can you name any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? Each was a feat of civil engineering and architecture. What causes structures such as these to fill us with awe even today? What is it that makes them seem more wondrous in our time of modernization? These structures have paved the way for many new advances in the design of the structures you see today.

In this activity you will learn about the history of civil engineering and architecture. You will see differences between the two professions and learn of their beginnings.

Procedure

In this activity you will investigate the history of civil engineering and architecture. You will see differences between the two professions and learn of their beginnings. Copy and paste the following questions in your blog, and answer them in a different color.

1.     Define civil engineering.

Civil Engineers design things. These might be roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, or water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in their designs, from the costs to making sure the structure will stay intact during bad weather. This is one of the oldest types of engineering.

2.     Define architecture.

In relation to buildings, architecture has to do with the planning, designing and constructing form.

3.     Describe the origination of the concept of architecture?

to attract the human eye.

4.     In ancient times how were building materials chosen?

With what materials they had around them and depending on what they were gonna use it for.

5.     Give two examples of vernacular architecture.

Vernacilar architectures is the study of a structure with out actual architects such as an igloo or a wooden shack or a house made out of mud in hot enironments.

6.     Name and describe the type of system used to create many early buildings.

The system was to use readily availible material for that climate.

7.     What was the purpose of the Egyptian pyramids? Mexican pyramids?

it was tombs or shrines to there gods.

8.     What kind of construction method was used to build the Parthenon? Made a simple sketch to illustrate.

Ancient Greek or classical architecture was the order of organization or construction method.

9.     What problem in architecture led to this form of construction?

10. Explain how an arch is created.

An arch is a half of a circle with the arch the same distance from a specific point.

11.  How is the vault used in civil engineering?

Vaults allow for the construction of bridges, walkways, and other pathways

12.  Give an example of an arch and dome system.

An arch can be an entrance to a room or building. A dome you typicaly find in religous building as the design and structure of rooms

13.  Give an example of a modern material we have that was not available to the ancients. How did this restrict construction in ancient times?

Dry wall, plaster, treeated wood, fabricated mettle, screws, glass, plastic, do too that the primitive mans structure in some areas did not last long and took a lot longer too build and more labor.

14.  What was the purpose of the Roman aqueducts?

Too transport fresh water to the people of rome.

15.  Compare ancient Greek roads to ancient Roman roads.

Greek roads were mainly brick type roads, and roman roads were brick and sement like meterial.

16. Describe an ancient Roman bridge.

Archs, stones, and sement.

17. How did building materials and methods change after the Romans?

Alot of civilizations adopted there method and structural thinking and still use some today.

Conclusion

1.     Give an example of a modern pyramid not shown in the presentation. How does its function differ from that of the Egyptian pyramids? What do you think accounts for this difference?

The Los Vegas Luxor.

2.     Give an example of a modern structure that uses an arch and dome system.

3.     What is the main purpose of modern roads? How is the cost of modern roadways defrayed?
