Architecture

I would like to do my research paper on Architecture in the twentieth century and how this changed the landscape of America. The technique of designing and building serves both utilitarian and aesthetic needs. Since every society in the world, especially America has architecture, whether highly developed or not, settled areas or nomadic lands, we all have a relationship to the natural world around us and the structures we produce show allot about our environment (including climate and weather), history, ceremonies, and artistic sensibility. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art.I would like to research how these designs have shaped our thinking and changed the way we grow our cities.
