Take a walk through over 6,000 years of master builder history. Precursors to the modern architect or engineer, a master builder was the central figure leading construction projects in pre-modern times. This lecture traverses time beginning with the Egyptian pyramids, through the cathedrals of the Middle Ages, to the skyscrapers of today. Using a historical perspective, the master builders' contribution to the built environment will be explored along with the development of the modern-day engineer, architect and contractor roles, which are illustrated through buildings designed and built today.
