• Artifacts - an object made by a human being,
typically an item of cultural or historical interest.
• Architecture - the art or science of building;
specifically : the art or practice of designing and
building structures and especially habitable ones.
• Symbols -  a mark, sign or word that
indicates, signifies, or is understood as

is known or seen by creating linkages between
otherwise very different concepts and
