Let’s look back in history
with this little rhyme 
To the architecture trends 
since the beginning of time
The birth of architecture 
so simple so sweet
a design so magnificent
it can’t be beat
It's the primitive hut
hearth, roof, and foundation
I’m the first architect
and this is my creation 
Now chop off the top
and you have a new design
an era for the gods
and pharaoh so divine
mud­bricks and limestone 
aligned to constellations
built along the nile
in a pyramid formation
Your pyramids are cool
but they lack in practicality
we’re the Greeks and Romans
and we build for immortality
from the Parthenon to Pantheon 
and the Imperial Forum
Look at our town plan
and all our decorum 
Welcome to the Renaissance
we have a new objective
Brunelleschi led the way
with linear perspective
Artistic expression  
at its core 
form and engineering
for you to adore
With iron and steel 
our building stock grew
Crystal Palace, Eiffel Tower
and bridges to name a few
New innovations
like the high rise
made cities grow
to unprecedented size
Less is more
strip all ornament
build for the masses
and the less fortunate
black thread and circle specs 
are the new attire
steel and glass facades 
for you to admire
Reject the modern rules
they’re boring and bland  
this is postmodernism
where ornament is grand
fractured designs
and the rules undefined
The crazier the better 
let’s all lose our minds
The past shapes the present
and now we’re here today
With environmental standards
we’re building in new ways
sustainable sites
LEED certified
recycled materials
that are locally supplied
The future looks bright
with less limitations 
Architecture is evolving
with more applications
create the next trend
and build in new ways
frame the future
starting today!
