Week 3: Daily #1

I think that the oldest human artifact that was the most important were pyramids. Pyramids helped us to understand how to make good shelters and buildings. It must be telling us something if pyramids that were made thousands of years ago are still in almost perfect conditions today. Sadly, most of our buildings are not built like pyramids were. If we had these wonderful things, we wouldn’t have to worry about strong wind or heavy rain destroying them. Today, weather destroys many houses in the United States. Even though pyramids are not the most tasteful looking homes, it would be nice to know that you have a durable and well- made home. It is sad to say that many new homes are not being made the way that they used to, and are falling apart too easily. I myself can say that I am worried about how long my house will last. I have a fairly new house, and already it has had problems because of it being poorly made. I hope that people will be able to see that we need to have safe houses for people to live in. hopefully architects will be able to research and look at ancient and old buildings, and base some of their work off of that in order to make sustainable, well-built houses.
