Influences of Ancient Egyptian Art & Architecture



Ancient Egyptian art and architecture influence design choices of today, so in today lecture, Dr Ray want us to find some building or architecture that reflect Egypt culture. 

The influence for the Greek Revival and arts and Craft styles 
can be found in the use of rounded columns inside buildings or the front porches. 
The style design of the columns also reflects the Egyptian style.

For example:
The Louvre 

Although the shapes remain the same, building materials differ. 
The triangular shape of the pyramids from Egypt continues in the design of architectural buildings of today. 




In my opinion, i think that History is not just a history, 
they shape how we live and do now.

What our doing now will shape our future too.
