Tips and tricks for research in the field of architecture

Abstract

Did you know that architecture was once an Olympic sport? Or that the Sagrada Familia has been under construction since 1882 (that’s not a typo!)? And do you know how many sketches Frank Lloyd Wright created before he found the right one for the Guggenheim Museum?
