We could sort of say or so people ask me, well, how does architecture begin? Whats the beginnings of architecture? And some people say, well, it must have begun with shelter, and this is not completely wrong but really not right, either. And youll probably encounter that. They say the first architecture was made into shelter, but Ive made a big point when showing you the architecture of the first society that, yes, OK, its shelter-- who wants to be in the snow and the rain? Each modest wigwam is a cosmological diagram. Its already a type of model of something abstract. Architecture begins from the very, very beginning as a model of some form of abstraction. It has significance thats far, far more important than just being a shelter.
