To build the cottages and equip caves for the ancestors did not need complicated calculations and skills, but as soon as they started building cities and they needed religious buildings, the situation changed. People who began to understand better than anything in laying stones, sawing marble and wood, making mortars and sculptures, began to enter the local elite and get fame. Forgotten forever the nicknames or surnames of most of the kings, but we got the name of the builder of the Egyptian pyramids Imhotep, the creators of the Jerusalem temple of the Jews of Hiram and Zerubbabel, the Greek of Phidias, and other ancient architects. Nowadays, this profession in honor and the International Day of the architect is an important date, both for those who are engaged in construction, and for real connoisseurs of art called architecture.
When celebrate the Day of the architect?
In this issue, sometimes confusion arises for the uninitiated. World Architecture Day was first celebrated on July 1, and then in the late 1990s the International Union of Architects shifted this date to the first Monday in October. Because of this, in many countries there were completely separate holidays. The architect's day is celebrated in the summer of July 1 at the old date, and World Architecture Day - in the second month of autumn, in the numbers set by the international authoritative organization.
