We will start at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Go outside and around the building to the patio on the east side of the Art and Architecture Center. Look at the different sculptures on this patio. They are all made of different building materials. An important part of architecture is the columns that support the heavy roof.
Columns are very old building elements.
Many Egyptian, Greek and Roman buildings used columns thousands of years ago. The capitals, or tops, of the columns had different designs called orders. We see buildings in our own cities that use architectural features invented by the Greeks. Walk to the Park Building on President's Circle. Many architecture designs were borrowed from other countries.
