Evolution of Architecture

During the course of my studies I found that Architecture has been a great resource for understanding the vrious hitorical and artistic movements. I began roughly at the start of the IX century, when glass and metal where starting to take center stage in industrial architecture. Then I moved on in chronological order, finally reaching the utopian visions of the practice Archigram. 
Here are a few images that describe the main movements in architecture, starting from Paxton's Crystal Palace, Olbrich's Secession Building, Gaudi` and Victor Horta's works of Art Nouveau, moving on to Adolf Loos's Tzara Mansion and finally an Archigram Poster and the Vimeo clip "Walking City" which describes in detail the evolution of Archigram's styles.
