    The Arc de Triomphe honours French military victories and generals from the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Built between 1806 and 1836, it contains the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I and names of victories and generals on its surfaces. Iconic in style and one of France's most recognizable landmarks, it provides views of central Paris and insight into France's military history. Architect Jean-François Chalgrin drew inspiration from the Roman Arch of Titus but made the Arc de Triomphe larger in scale without columns.

    Summary

    The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French
    Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and
    generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of
    the Unknown Soldierfrom World War I. The Arc de Triomphe is perhaps the most
    iconic of all French monuments, and without a doubt one of the most triumphal. Built
    between 1806 and 1836, it’s iconic in style and sculpture to the decoration popular at the
    first half of the nineteenth century and visitors can admire its delicate design and
    engravings. Instantly recognisable and deeply evocative of the military history of
    France, the Arc de Triomphe provides a glimpse into France’s social past as well as
    spectacular views across central Paris. The architect, Jean-François Chalgrin, took his
    inspiration from the Roman Arch of Titus, with a single arch, but transcended the
    original by the outsize dimensions (about 50m high, 45m long and 22m wide) and by
    doing away with columns.
    summary

    Building material is any material which is used for construction purposes. Many
    naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, even twigs and
    leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring
    materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic.
    The manufacture of building materials is an established industry in many countries
    and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades,
    such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work. They provide the make-up
    of habitats and structures including homes.And these are some types of building
    materials : Naturally occurring substances are(clay,wet laid,soil,sand,rock,wood,),
    Man made substances (bricks,cement,wood,wood cement,glass,metal).
    summary

    An architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building


    project) that falls within the definition of architecture. Architectural drawings are used
    by architects and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent
    proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to
    enable a building contractor to construct it, as a record of the completed work, and to make a
    record of a building that already exists.
    Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of
    composing drawings that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed.
    Technical drawing is essential for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the
    drawings easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of
    measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout.
    The development of the computer had a major impact on the methods used to design and create
    technical drawings,[1] making manual drawing almost obsolete, and opening up new possibilities
    of form using organic shapes and complex geometry
