Reading Prompt

Importance of Architecture to Society

Have you ever wondered why architecture is so important for the society we live in? Architecture is the art that provide us the physical environment we live in. It is a deep expression of human civilization in a particular era and it will endure and outlive us in forms of monuments that future generations will study and strive to understand.



TUTORIALS

STEP ONE

Picture

Pick a theme and create a sketch! Think about the walls as one composition instead of four.

*Roll out extra slabs for the roof, base, and any relief that you will be adding*

*Roll out all slabs on the same day to reduce cracking and drying issues*

STEP TWO

Roll out slabs and allow them to get leather hard. Cut slabs and score and slip them together.
