From Caves to Houses

The very first architects didn't build a single thing. They just moved in.

Architecture actually started with caves, the ultimate ready-made setup that kept us safe and temperature-controlled

without lifting a finger. Then we looked up at trees, using them as vertical

escapes from predators and the first community hangouts under the shade. But the game changed

when we started building huts. That was the moment we stopped just surviving nature

and started designing with it, using mud and straw to create our own safe spaces.

We went from finding shelter to inventing it. Basically, your house is just

a fancy, evolved cave.
