Famous Buildings

Our world is full of significant and famous buildings.

Since humans became sedentary, they have lived in houses and continued to expand them. Each new material made new constructions possible; mathematical knowledge made it possible to calculate angles, arcs and weights.

Thus, over the centuries, unique buildings were created that have survived to this day, always setting new records.

Even today, architects outdo each other with crazy ideas or ever higher skyscrapers. The Empire State Building, for example, has long since ceased to be the tallest building in the world; even in New York there are taller structures. Nevertheless, it is a building steeped in history, as it was the first skyscraper of its kind.

In this topic you will learn about famous buildings of the world, from Roman buildings to modern architecture of the 21st century. Briefly and concisely, we present you various famous buildings with appropriate information, special knowledge tidbits and corresponding pictures.

Of course, not even a fraction of all spectacular buildings in the world are represented here, and the selection was truly not easy for us. We would probably need many more Dailies for that, but as always: step by step. 😉
