520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. The design and building of structures for the purpose of making life more pleasant has been going on for a long, long time. Primitive man learned to pile stones and logs at the mouth of his cave as a protection against the weather and wild animals. He became a "master builder" through necessity, but his practice was limited to his own requirements and by few materials. As civilization developed, more materials were used, but not until the 1800s did conditions require any specialization in design. Wars would normally not be considered advantageous. However, wars seem to generate a need for new materials, and after World War I and World War II there was a flood of them put on the market. Along with this increase in the number of materials came an increase in the responsibilities of the architect-engineer. He was becoming a business man as well as a specialist. In many cases the A/E had to learn the "business" end by experience, and the future will bring an even greater need for business acumen. Practicing A/E's realize this and the need has prompted educational institutes to include such education in their curricula.
