Celebrate Architecture Day
Architecture is something we do not tend to appreciate as much as we should. Look around you next time you walk down the street. Everything is a product of architecture. Think about all of those amazing buildings around the world. It’s only right that we appreciate the work that went into these, right? Read on to discover everything you need to know about this date and how to celebrate it properly.
Learn about World Architecture Day
World Architecture Day has been created in order to pay tribute to this industry. Architects have the ability to change the world that we live in with their amazing work. World Architecture Day is about recognizing their work, as well as the important role that architecture plays.
World Architecture Day is celebrated all around the world today. It may be celebrated on different dates and in different ways, but it is great to see that it is an art and industry that is being appreciated all around the world. From Argentina and Venezuela to Brazil and Bolivia; countries all around the world pay honor to the work of architects.
There are many different ways that architecture impacts society and the world around us. At the very roots, architecture exists so that a physical environment can be created for people to live in. However, architecture is a lot more than this environment that has been built. Architecture is a part of our culture. It represents not only how we see the world, but also how we see ourselves.
While the concept of building a shelter is pretty simple and straightforward, the style of a building was shaped by the value it will bring to society, the materials that can be used, and the climate within the specific location. However, as there have been advances in technology and the world has become more connected, styles have evolved. Despite this, even in contemporary construction, there is still significance when it comes to cultural nuances being honored.
Not only does architecture have an impact on society at a high level, but it also has an impact at a personal level as well. Everything from material finishes to the way that space is laid out can contribute towards the productivity, mood, and health of the occupants. For example, did you know that people are less likely to take sick leave when they work in a space that has been well-designed? They are also usually more focused and then tend to contribute more to their business. On the flip side, higher levels of stress can be caused as a consequence of unimaginative buildings and concrete, sterile landscapes.
When you take all of this into account, it is not difficult to see why it is important to have an World Architecture Day. Architects play a massive role in society. Their work is a combination of both science and art, which draws on and intertwines with politics, economics, sociology, psychology, and more! We should appreciate their work and pay tribute to all of the amazing things that they have done so far.
History of World Architecture Day
Created in 2005 by the Union International des Architects (UIA), World Architecture Day is a day to show appreciation for the work architects do and to celebrate some of the great global architectural works.
Architecture is incredibly important and architects have the potential to shape all of our lives through their hard work. In addition, architecture plays an essential role in planning for the future, sustaining population growth and tackling a number of social problems.
Events are held in different locations every year, bringing architects, engineers, planners, and developers together to showcase their work, discuss future projects, debate current issues and plan new business ventures. So if you work in the industry, why not go along and join in?
For those who do not work within the field of architecture, simply take a few moments out of your day to appreciate the architectural feats that you usually take for granted during your everyday life.
We also recommend that you take a look online to find out what the theme is for World Architecture Day. There is a different theme that is attributed to World Architecture Day every year. For example, Healthy Cities, Happy Cities was the theme in 2014. This can help you get some direction on the different ways that you can observe World Architecture Day every year.

DEAR NEIGHBOR
Hi, Morris . This is Saul, next door. I've been riddled with guilt for a few months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you face-to-face. When you're not around, I've been sharing your wife, day and night, probably much more than you. I haven't been getting it at home recently. I know that's no excuse. The temptation was just too great. I can't live with the guilt & hope you'll accept my sincere apology and forgive me.
Please suggest a fee for usage and I'll pay you.
- Saul.
Morris, feeling enraged and betrayed, grabbed his gun, went next door, and shot Saul dead. He returned home, shot his wife, poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. Morris then looked at his phone and discovered a second text message from Saul.
SECOND TEXT MESSAGE:
Hi, Morris. Saul here again. Sorry about the typo on my last text. I assume you figured it out and noticed that the darned Spell-Check had changed "wi-fi" to "wife." Technology, huh? It'll be the death of us all.

PICTURES OF THE DAY
The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), also known as the Eurasian kingfisher or the river kingfisher, is a small species of kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and northern Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter. Like all kingfishers, the common kingfisher is highly territorial; since it must eat around 60 per cent of its body weight each day, it is essential to have control of a suitable stretch of river. It is solitary for most of the year, roosting alone in heavy cover. If another kingfisher enters its territory, both birds display from perches, and fights may occur, in which a bird will grab the other's beak and try to hold it underwater. Pairs form in the autumn but each bird retains a separate territory, generally at least 1 km (0.6 mi) long but up to 3.5 km (2.2 mi), and territories are not merged until the spring. This female common kingfisher, of the subspecies A. a. ispida, was photographed near Kecskemét in Hungary. United States |
