Quest Jr - Amazing Architecture - Issue 15

In dit nummer

Winston Churchill once said, ‘We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.’

Architecture is a wonderful subject. It combines both design and engineering; provides a meeting point for beauty and function. It serves a practical purpose - the building of private spaces - our homes and public spaces - museums, centers, parks and schools. And it provides the artists amongst us with a medium for expressing their creativity with the use of bricks and cement, glass and steel. It gives a platform for our scientists and researchers to further expand the boundaries with the creation of new materials - stronger, lighter, more flexible and more durable to the elements of nature. And it allows the dreamers in our midst with a blank canvas to create pure magic and raise structures that survive generations and bear testimony to the indomitable human spirit.

This month we celebrate architecture. Join us on this unique journey through the past and discover the hidden genius of the civilizations that have lived before us.
