PREREQUISITES FOR THE APPEARANCE OF TECTONICS: THE ERA OF ORIGIN

Abstract

The development of tectonics in architectural structures is a rather complex historical topic, which began its development with the appearance of the first architectural structures in ancient civilizations. One of the first examples of the use of tectonic principles in architecture is the ancient temples of Egypt and Mesopotamia. These structures were built of massive blocks of stone that were connected to each other without the use of binding materials such as cement or clay. Thus, the structures became not only strong, but also resistant to destruction from external factors. The development of tectonics in architectural structures continues today. Architects are constantly looking for new technologies and materials that will allow them to create more complex and refined designs that will combine not only functionality, but also beauty and aesthetic appeal.
