Architecture is a testament to the human imagination and sense of possibility. Living through momentous times can prompt many of us to think in a big-picture way about humanity’s achievements, what we have overcome, and our innate desire to leave a legacy for future generations. Architecture produced by civilizations since the beginning of recorded history (and, some would argue, even earlier than that) taps into the human desire to create something beautiful, meaningful and functional, expressing the values of a society.
