Rich Task Term 2 - What do you think?




The World Trade Centre was more than a building to most Americans it was symbol for many other things.  Buildings sometimes hold more meaning than fuction or purpose.


This has also happened in Christchurch with many of the iconic buildings being destroyed, one of these is the Cathedral.







When rebuilding these structures and buildings what do you think that the architect takes into account?

Why do they choose certain materials?

How does nature impact upon how we change our construction of these things?
