The Earth’s changes through man’s constructions

Since the Stone Age the man used to create new forms to survive. In begin, the man went from nomad to sedentary, developing places to stay. Every human need one ceiling to live and one location to enjoy the benefits around it. Therefore, it is simple to comprehend the groups of human started been created to buildings one region that offering good conditions to live. It start to form that we called ‘cities’. It start to change the natural form of earth.

Currently, we can see the developing of building science through used materials in the constructions and thought revolutionary methods to build faster with more knowledge about specific structures in specific place. Furthermore, the increasing was so big that when we look around the world, principally in mega-cities, stay evident the presence of man because we can see uncountable buildings and constructions in every space of city. The population increase so faster that the construction method would not follow together, and in this point we can notice the mistakes did in Civil Engineering. In this time, it was missing the appropriate technology to urban plan correctly.

Actually, we didn’t born with beaver’s skill of buildings. Before to do something, the man need learn about it. However, at the same time we humans learned with our mistakes. Therefore, always we are learning, acquiring new knowledge.

In the currently method of construction there are some errors did in the past, which are hindering the sequence of evolutionary technology. It is necessary change the oldest form of buildings to improve the space and preserve better the nature resources. We can make greener our cities and more comfortably to live. But, for it be real and accessible for everybody we need to change the mentality of the world. We didn’t need improve guns for wars, we need improve our way of life to let some earth’s piece to our future generation.

Anyway, don’t be pessimistic. Change our lifestyle taking advantage of technology available is not expensive. After all, if a gun is cheap and affordable today in some countries is because one day it was much invested. Not invest in wars, invest in a better world.
