ARTAges: History of Architecture
By the simplest definition, architecture is the design of buildings, executed by
architects. However, it is more. It is the expression of thought in building. It
is not simply construction, the piling of stones or the spanning of spaces with
steel girders. It is the intelligent creation of forms and spaces that in
themselves express an idea.

Metropolis Magazine Metropolis examines contemporary life
through design--architecture, interior design, product design, graphic design,
crafts, planning, and preservation. Subjects range from the sprawling urban
environment to intimate living spaces to small objects of everyday use. In

economic, environmental, social, cultural, political, and technological context.
With its innovative graphic presentation and its provocative voice, Metropolis
shows how richly designed our world can be.
