What's a nice person like me doing studying architecture? Dunno. However, it's an interesting way to learn American history,
and I'm finding out all kinds of things.
Stay tuned as I dredge up facts and theories and practice building houses with my latest passion: Google's SketchUp, wonderful 3D modeling software. I'm keeping some of the ones I struggled over with Paint Shop Pro, that is, the ones that
don't show (too much) what a horrible time I have with perspective.
The periods that are underlined in the American Architecture Time Line have some pages already, and I'm working as fast
as I can.
I hope this site helps both of us understand architecture. Please feel free to let me know what you think and any suggestions
you might have.
Good to Know
(This might be a good time to remind you of the Architectural Glossary, which can clear up any questions you have about architectural terms.)
If you don't know a Mansard roof from a shed, the following sections are for you.
History Stuff
