Building blocks and designs

In a city, there are many different kinds of houses: small, large, old, modern, pointed, flat, white, and colorful.

Why is that? A city isn’t built all at once, but grows over many years, decades, and even centuries – like a giant puzzle made up of many colorful pieces. During this time, not only do building techniques and materials change, but also what people find beautiful and practical. Experts can therefore tell which era a house comes from by its architectural style.
