	History of architecture is a very vast subject, but is an indispensable and invaluable key to understand architecture. Architecture has always been very close to civilizations and their development, in fact we can see architecture as a mirror, reflecting civilizations changes, advancements and hopes throughout history. The same applies to other forms of art and culture, but architecture, since it is not only a form of art but also catering to fundamental human needs, can sometimes be a deeper portrait of what happened in a certain place at a certain time.
