    This document provides an overview of the evolution of architecture and structure from ancient times to the present. It traces key developments in structural approaches from stacking and post-and-lintel construction in ancient Egypt and Greece, to arches in Roman architecture, vaults and flying buttresses in Gothic architecture. Later innovations included space frames in the 20th century, advanced shells, computer-aided design, and now smart structures. Significant architectural works are highlighted from each era to exemplify the structural approaches, from the Pyramids of Giza to Calatrava's Turning Torso building. The document charts this journey through architecture and how structure has adapted with new materials and technologies over time.
