For example the builders that established some of the most historical buildings in Chicago are what caused the city's explosion of growth because those workers are the ones who populated the city, creating demand for new businesses, and so on.
- Integral to understanding the development of architecture throughout history and what informs modern design, and how it will evolve.
- Culturally significant. Many of the world's greatest buildings have influenced culture both locally and internationally. A movie like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" doesn't just use the setting, the story is rooted in the nature of the structure, its famous bells, its gargoyles and masonry, its connection to theocracy and politics.
- Most importantly of all, buildings are a real connection to the past, and our way to connect to the future. You can actually go stand right next to the pyramids. It's part of what separates story books from history books. Without them, the past might as well be a myth. What was the nature of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? We'll never know the truth from fiction, nor ever experience its supposed spectacular beauty. -

Disneyland is pretty historically important too and draws bucks from a different market than the type of people who visit 900 year old cathedrals.2. locals that dont exist anymore as their being replaced. and that was 800 years ago.
The Paris of 800 years ago is what caused the Paris of today.3. what and how does understanding the evolution of architecture benefits humanity?
Uh, how does the study of architecture affect current and future architecture, and how does architecture benefit humanity? At minimum it's aesthetically pleasing to people, which is on various levels all that benefiting humanity is.4. and like i asked earlier, what culture ? whos past ? french ?
Whatever culture is relevant to the buildings. The pyramids tell the tale of civilizations long past. -
