Architectural History Paper- Ancient to 1850Write an essay that uses a clearly defined thesis statement to make an argument that marshals ONLY material from the assigned readings as evidence. Topic: “As societies developed from primitive, nomadic tribes to more complex agrarian cultures that developed permanent towns/cities, their ability to build larger and more sophisticated structures evolved as well. From using caves carved out of nature to creating massive stone structures dedicated to their deities and rulers, architectural development is intrinsically linked to cultural development. Architecture possesses the ability to convey a society’s most important messages and beliefs to a wide audience. This can be accomplished in several ways, and different cultures highlighted and capitalized on the ability architecture possesses as a means of communication.

Be sure to consider dedication of resources, common typologies, function, materiality, etc. when supporting your argument”.Sources (I do not have it, but if necessary, must refer to): “Richard Ingersoll, World Architecture: A Cross-Cultural History, 2ndEdition (Oxford University Press) ISBN: 978-0190646455”
