Ishtar Gate was constructed by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II circa 575 BCE. It was the eighth gate of the city of Babylon and was the main entrance into the city. The Ishtar Gate was part of Nebuchadnezzar's plan to beautify his empire's capital. During the first half of the 6th century BCE, he also restored the temple of Marduk and built the renowned wonder: the Hanging Gardens as part of this plan. The magnificence of the Ishtar Gate was so well known that it made the initial list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. However, it was later replaced by the Lighthouse of Alexandria, but some authors wrote that the "Gates of Ishtar" and "Walls of Babylon" should still be considered one of the wonders.

explain why it is important for architects to consider the social and psychological aspects of design and give a specific exampl

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Because more than just a building, an architectural structure is a human expression. So, it must reflect the conceptions, not only of the time but the author as well. When an architect is projecting a building, he must think about how the audience would look at it, and the feelings they will have. A good example is the Gothic cathedrals.

Explanation:

Well, now let's see.

The architects who project for example the Notre Dame Cathedral were influenced by the art of their time (the Gothic, in this case). So, the structure they were rising should contain elements of this style, such as complex decoration, stained glass, statues ornamenting the entrance, the idea of reach the skies represented by the building's height, the flying buttress on the structures, and several other elements. And when people look at the final building, they will feel fear, respect, moderation and many other feelings. But these feelings were possible, ONLY because the architect thought about what he would put on the structure.
