    The document provides an overview of structures throughout history including their materials and engineering. It discusses some of the earliest and tallest structures such as the Great Pyramid in Egypt and Eiffel Tower in France. Engineering mistakes on structures in Shanghai and Paris are also mentioned. Different materials that structures have been built from are reviewed including glass, brick, wood, cast iron, and stone. Engineering concepts of compression, tension, and bending are examined in the context of historic structures like the Parthenon, Stonehenge, and Roman aqueducts. Form-resistant structures that use cylinders, domes, and folded plates are discussed.
