Lastly, technological tools are used by architects to figure out how much time it will take them to make the building based on the technology available to them during their respective time period. Compare a blueprint of a building (an old-fashioned hand-drawn sketch) with a computer model (current technological advancement), you can easily understand the technological advancement.
As you can see, architecture is made up of all acronyms in STEM.
Madrid has a particularly interesting architecture and I can compare it with the rest of Europe. Architecture is the most distinctive feature in Spain due to the amount of effort and detail that went behind developing each building. Buildings in Madrid are rarely modern. Most of them are old but are restored on the inside to look modern. These buildings have been around since the 16th century and continue standing. That is truly impressive! How do buildings that have stood so long against time remain almost intact? I call that hard work, effort and passion on the architect’s behalf.
Some details you can find on buildings in Madrid are carvings of famous leaders, mythological creatures, biblical figures, and even statues atop most of the buildings. Looking at the entire city from above, you can see that the blocks are not entirely square or rectangular - instead, they are shaped as if the corners were cut diagonally and left without sharp edges. This is done to avoid collisions on the roads and to avoid accidents with pedestrians crossing the streets. Without sharp edges, cars and people can see in advance if there is anyone turning into another street instead of going straight. This is another example of how architects implement critical thinking skills required in the STEM field.
