Today we had presenters: my good friend Koby and Sergio. They presented about aspects or things
that changed Architecture. The two aspects included Columns and Beams. There were multiple
examples and facts I learned. Such as, their functions and significance. For beams, it is a sequence of
repetition. The repetition connects to stability. In which, beams are repeated in a pattern in order to provide a stable structure and beauty. Also, it is made with different materials to provide beauty to a structure. Like, wood, steel, stone, and many more.
Columns. When I hear columns I picture Roman architecture and huge stone, detailed columns. There is more to columns than its' beauty it provides, as you can see in Roman architecture. It's function is to connect a structure/building. For example, the picture below shows multiple columns connecting a structure. Am example, from Rafael was bridges. Whether it'll be the Golden Gate or Bay bridge just for example, it is built with columns and beams. The bridge is flexible and experiences a lot of wind, so flexibility equals stability. Because if it was stiff than it would collapse if experiencing wind and weather conditions.
