The word "architecture" comes from the Greek language and means "chief builder". Sources for it have varied for millennia. One of the first books on the subject is De Architectura by Vitruvius, dating from 15 years before Christ. There are mentioned the basic principles in the genre - usefulness, durability, beauty.

During the first 40 years of the modern Olympic Games, architecture was considered a sport, and the first competition of this kind took place in 1912. 151 medals were awarded not only in this field but also in others such as music, art, literature.

Over time, the discipline fell away, but the influence of architecture entered various areas of life. One of them is video games. Interesting fact - the idea behind „The Sims“was the construction of buildings. The aim of the players would be to design houses and later it changed to simulating the real life.
