Roman and Parisian Architecture/Culture

Introduction

The world has not reached the point, where it stands today, in the same position from the primitive times. Every era has proven out to the precedent for the other or the subsequent era. If only it were the survival of the humans or the mankind, which would be the primary and only concern, there could have been the possibility that, their priority would have revolved around the acquisition of food and shelter only. However, nature has devised the mankind in a way that he wishes his surroundings to complete and compliment his existence. That is the sole reason the world has witnessed numerous civilizations since primitive times to the current era. Each civilization possessed its own specs and attributes that played a pivotal role in differentiating it from the other civilizations of numerous eras (Stobart, p.88).

There are numerous components of a civilization, which complete it essence and justify the status of defining the lifestyle, attitude, values, and the approach of the mankind encompassing that civilization. The main components of civilization that play a pivotal role in reflecting the values and lifestyle of the inhabitants are their cultures and specific cultural values, as well as the architecture they have designed and build up over time (Maitland, p.99).

It is a field that fundamentally takes into account the rules and patterns of construction and design, as well as, the embellishment, the enhancement of the essence or the design endured by the building (Kostof , p.88 ).

Culture

As discussed earlier, culture is believed to be an imperative component of denoting the civilization or the values and beliefs of the inhabitants of a specific territory or region. In literal sense, the term culture denotes the existence of a specific society at a specific or given time; or the manners, beliefs, lifestyle and even the taste in art that is relished by a certain social group, residing together and forming a uniform society. Moreover, the attitudes, as well as the behaviour of the inhabitants also denote or reflect the culture of that society to a significant extent (Heynen, p.39).

Numerous primitive architectures and cultures of societies

The world has not been devised by nature in a monotone pattern. It is filled and possessed by numerous societies, civilizations, and social groups. Interestingly, each social group or society has possessed its own unique pattern or architecture and culture, which had earned it the reverence of being unique and appreciated. Amongst the most noted and acknowledged cultures and civilizations, with respect to architecture, are ...
