Seven Wonders of

rchitec ture
technology have played an important
role in advancing human civilization.
From architecture to engineering,
communication to transportation,
humans have invented and developed
extraordinary wonders.
Architecture is a key element of
every culture. From the earliest huts,
humans have been building a variety of
structures in which to live, work, and
play. Sometimes we take our buildings
for granted, but architecture impacts
both the functionality and aesthetics of
our world. Engineering and art come
together in architects’ designs to create
some of the most amazing and beautiful
structures that have ever existed.
In this book, we’ll explore seven
wonders of architecture, from the
dizzying height of the Eiffel Tower, to the
love-inspired Taj Mahal, to the heated
competition that resulted in two of New
York’s tallest buildings. Along the way,
we’ll see advancements in materials,
technology, and construction techniques,
and we’ll learn the stories of how and
why these architectural achievements
became important to the world.
