Architecture & Sustainability
As a result of the Industrial Revolution during the 18th century, industrial production in-creased drastically which led to the changing of three important factors. The first factor that got affected is the increase of demand on resources. Europe was one of the strongest military forces in the world back then and they were the most dominant. Due to the lack of raw material, they invaded and conquered some parts of the world for their crucial need of resources.
The second factor has a social impact on society. There was a rising demand for labor in the industrial field. That made a lot of people abandon the countryside and move to larger cities, as a result there was a drastic decrease in farming. The third factor …show more content…
The process of building trains meant to cut more trees. Cutting more trees means deforestation. Steel was used to construct and build skyscrapers. It is known that steel is one of the main materials that produce toxic fumes while being manufactured. Some time after, cars became the most popular transportation method powered by gas. Cities were designed to be reached by cars and minimized pedestrian moves. Shopping started becoming essential to people and going to malls and supermarkets became part of their daily routine. Economically, with the banks loaning a lot of money to people, that increased the family’s monthly income, which led to an enormous increase in consumption. The more products consumed, the less re-sources available. Unfortunately, America became the leading model to modern lifestyle and economics.
The increase in industrial manufacturing also led to one of the world’s most concerning problems, Global Warming. Scientists started noticing climate changes in the beginning of the 19th century when they discovered the Greenhouse Gases. The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) is a gas in the atmosphere, which absorbs and transmits radiation within the thermal infrared range. In other words, the gases are trapped on Earth and can’t escape the atmospheric layer which causes the temperature to increase and that eventually leads to the melting of icebergs and rise in sea
