Prehistoric Period

The Prehistoric period influenced a lot of primitive homes. Materials that were durable such as stone, was the main way shelters were constructed. Caves were one of the first shelters for humans that were discovered. The insides were filled with decorative scripts and art on the interior to show design. 

Skara Brae was one of the areas that caught my interest the most. This ancient settlement was so amazing to look at considering the layout and style of the homes. I also really liked how a lot of stone was incorporated on the meeting area which all the people met in. 

Stonehenge was another area that really caught my eye. The arrangement of the stones all based on the alignment of the sun was incredible. It is really amazing that people were able to transport huge stones to the area as well as lifting and placing them on top of each other. Also, it was interesting to find out this was a place for religious ritual and a burial ground with a post and lintel construction.

Lastly the art on the interiors of the caves I found to be beautiful because it told a story of the peoples lives that lived there. Also, people showed their most important values and figures/animals they felt were prominent through their art. 

I feel that this home really shows a a current application of prehistoric style considering it looks like a cave and has a bunch of stone surrounding the inside.

This is another current application I found that resembled prehistoric design. The incorporation of the stone on the walls and fireplaces really portray the ancient feel.
