Part 1
Human began to create the shelter it contains from the beginning of God Almighty’s creation of mankind until this day in which we live. By choosing the pattern in which he made his surroundings and shelter, he had to gradually transform.
Beginning with his use of nature and surrounding materials, from inanimate objects such as caves and trees, as well as the remains of living creatures from bones and skins, and even with his transition from the life of the desert to the life of civilization and development in our time, the idea of finding housing evolved from being a means to search for shelter and safety to luxury and creativity, and new terms appeared. Such as decor, including home decorations, store decorations, restaurants, and smart systems to control everything inside homes.
Human has chosen an environment in which to be his personality, and express what he believes in from beliefs, and what he tends to in one way or another of taste, and what is the need of man for that environment.
Can you imagine trying to talk six hundred people into helping you drag a fifty-ton stone eighteen miles across the countryside and muscle it into an upright position, and then saying, ‘Right, lads! Another twenty like that…and then we can party!'”
Bill Bryson
The impact of what is around us reflects our personality and who we are and what we will leave in terms of impression and effect on us or on those around us from humanity and nature, expressing ourselves and what is going on in our minds.
Most of the civilizations that passed during the previous centuries left us a lot about the impact of the ocean that man lived in his time and civilizations, as the art of influence extended for years to make us reflect on how man made all these civilizations and how his insistence on expressing with effect and influence was to make those around him be his subordinate. By thought, religion, belief, or orientation.
Even the human inclination for beauty and art and their taste had a share in showing the impact on the environment and creativity in the art of influence.
Through the march of mankind, this art developed for those who carry that skill in impact and influence into specialization and specialization, and this specialty was attributed to architecture and urbanism and called (the architect), which seeks to be a translator of your ideas and an analyst of your desires.
When we see that constructed engineering block, and what the architect expresses in terms of art and what his function is in the inner and outer surroundings, while the architectural designer creates his own engineering melodies and creative ideas, he shows us what he wanted in terms of impact and influence.
When one of us enters a dwelling, we notice how the expression of his inhabitant is, including thoughts, tendencies, colors, brushes, what his feelings, his psyche, and how they reflect his life.
When we made a tour of these ancient cities and the surrounding markets, such as the old city of Damascus, passing through Souk Al-Hamidiyeh, that ancient spirit that is rooted in the roots of urbanization and those who lived in it and passed through it reflected on us.
The same is the case when we passed Taksim Square in Istanbul and the long Taksim Market that ends with the Granada Tower, because the effect that reached us made us cling to it and visit it every time and we do not get bored of it and go back and talk about it to those around us.
It is a good choice for your real estate project or architectural and engineering design, for those who feel and sense your ideas, and it is a shortcut for a lot of time and costs, and it may be a lifetime project relative to the owner.
We advise you, dear reader, that your surroundings influence your life in a positive way, and that you give this to the people of specialization with that for those who have the art of influencing your enjoyable life.
