You might think that it sounds pretty boring? Well, maybe but read on and you might be surprised by some things that you are going to learn and consider.
Buildings are all around us: we live in them, we work in them. Buildings can be very old and built in a traditional style, or they can be modern and cutting edge and take architecture to the limit.
Do you like old buildings or modern buildings? Our first article looks at some reasons to save old buildings which include looking to the future.
Then we look at the Seven Wonders of the World. You may have heard of the pyramids but what were the other wonders of the ancient world? And what would their modern day equivalents be?
