My House Like Molly's?
Describing
The Built Environment Around You
 
Is
My House Like Molly’s is
a fun, hands-on way to learn the different architectural
styles, terms, and elements so you can begin describing
your home and other buildings important in your day-to-day
life. This will help you see not only how architecture
differs, but will also help you to distinguish historic
from recent architecture. Our environment is all that
surrounds us, both natural and man made. The built environment
is totally humankind's responsibility, to create and
to change. The future of our cities, our quality of
life and our abilty to protect the natural environment
depends upon educating ourselves to look at what we've
built and accept ownership of it. Only then can we decide
what to preserve, what to change, what to build now.
