About this deck
From the megalith to the megacity. Thirteen sheets tracing how humans have shaped, stacked, vaulted, and printed space — and what each era carried forward into the next. Key sections include: Architecture / a brief structural history; Stones standing up — the post and lintel.; Mass, geometry, and a stone mountain for a king.; The orders — rules of how a column meets a roof.; Concrete, the arch, and the dome.; Walls become bones — pointed arch + flying buttress.; The dome, reborn on geometry.; Drama, motion, the curved facade.; Iron, steel, and the building that wants to be a machine.; "Form follows function." Ornament leaves the building..
