Technology in Scale

Hello, again! This time I'll be talking about how scale and technology have been paired together to reveal certain details about the time periods they're based around.
The main detail I notice about every era is how much they focus on either religion or culture, which in my eyes go hand-in-hand themselves. For instance, in Ancient times the Greeks created temples for their gods and goddesses in order to worship them properly. The scale of these buildings usually depending on the area and how important that god or goddess was to that location, as well as whether it was a god or goddess--their gender effected the types of columns used on the temple, so it's safe to assume that it also effected the size of the temples.
Moving on from that, in the National era cathedrals became a common site in many places. They have a very religious aspect to them considering they're churches. Along with that, though, they also showed what type of people were in those cities. Some of them often created their cities around their cathedrals, which resulted in their cities matching the same style. From this, we can infer that these cathedrals were built at a pretty large scale.
Now in our Modern era, we don't often build anything that relates to religion, and this is simply because times are always changing. However, culture is still found in our buildings and how we can distinguish where a building is located based on it's materials or even shape, as well as the scale of the buildings.
