A Review: 7000 Years Of Building Structures
Abstract
The purpose of this review article is to examine the changes and developments in structural systems and materials up to the present day through a holistic perspective, considering the societal dynamics of each period. The article includes a literature review and investigates the development of structures through the concepts of "structural system," "construction material," and "structural innovation." In selecting the structures discussed in the article, care has been taken to include those that pioneered new structure types, and/or materials for subsequent structures. The study covers an approximately 7,000-year period from the Neolithic era to the present. Therefore, within this broad time frame, the article provides brief/concise information on the concepts of "structural system," "construction material," and "structural innovation" about the examined structures. In the study, it is observed that until the Industrial Revolution, building construction was carried out using traditional materials and construction techniques. Moreover, faith was a major motivation in pushing the boundaries of construction techniques under the conditions of the time. This motivation changed with the Enlightenment era, as the new thought process resulting from the Industrial Revolution replaced the motivation of "faith" with "building for society" through new technological possibilities. New forms of society brought with them new construction technologies and typologies. This situation persisted until the late 20th century, but it changed with the use of computer technology in design and construction phases. Since then, structural concerns, which had been a significant constraint in building construction, have become less of a priority for designers. From this point of view, the article is structured as follows after the "Introduction" section: "Building for Faith: The Limits of Traditional Materials," "The Machine Age: Building in the Light of Modern Science and Engineering," and "Free from Structural Constraints: The Impact of Computers." In the conclusion, examples are listed according to the concepts of "structural system," "construction material," and "structural innovation," thereby presenting the results of the study.
