Things to know
1. Not all buildings are made of stone. While this was true in the

middle ages, mankind has since developed buildings made out of metal, glass, ice, plastic, cards, and metaphors. 2. The tallest building in the world is now the Burj Khalifa. Until a couple weeks ago, it was known as the Burj Dubai. The name was changed to spite non-Arabic speakers. Here is a picture:

3. Contrary to common belief, the strongest shape in architecture is not the arch, but rather the double arch. The shape can be seen in every country and every culture in the world, minus North Korea. They still have stone buildings (see point 1). 4. The city with the best architecture in the world is Chicago. Some people would suggest Prague. Others would say Paris. These people are victims of communists, or worse. 5. Architects are skittish and reclusive by nature. They prefer complex drawings to conversation; mathematics to the written word. However, not all architects are autistic. Some merely have Aspergers.
