This document outlines a course on the evolution of construction technology from the neolithic era to modern times, emphasizing the progression of materials and design. It aims to educate architecture and engineering students, as well as construction professionals, on the historical developments and methodologies in construction. The course also compares early construction techniques with modern advancements, including the shift from blueprints to digital designs.

3. Evolution of construction Technology
• This construction course, shows the evolution of advanced construction technology goes on from
Neolithic, copper and bronze age, and up to the present. These dwelling places were made with utilization
of limited resources, so they had certain limitations. We will elaborate this complete process of evolution
in good detail to highlight the construction development in the construction courses.
What’s it about?
• This module will help you to understand, how construction technology has evolved over a process of time.
Historical development in construction technology has taken place where the pattern and design have
developed from Neolithic era till date. The infrastructure and workforce used at each stage were different
which had certain limitations. However, evolution in construction technology is going on, like living in
caves, moving towards wood houses, then brick and concrete houses and so, on. Industrialization brought
a rapid change in construction and with that came the issue of wastage and debris.

6. Technology
What’s involved?
• Earlier there were blueprints used for construction Blueprint or technical drawing,
creating architecture or an engineering design, using a contact print process on
light-sensitive sheets. Whiteprints replaced blueprints, use low-cost printing
methods and digital displays. In the early 1940s, cyanotype blueprint superseded
by diazo prints, also known as whiteprints, which had blue lines on a white
background; so these drawings are also called blue-lines or bluelines. Other
comparable dye-based copies are known as black lines, 3D Digital/virtual designs.
