One building tool that has impacted architecture is the crane. The crane has made it so that we can build quicker and taller structures. Cranes have 2 key components that are the pulley and winch. The pulley is a basic invention that redirects and focuses force. Say your trying to pull a block straight up but it is too heavy for you and you have to pull it straight up higher than you are so you have to use a pulley because it lessons the weight and goes straight up, still too heavy for you? Add another pulley. The winch is a wheel that you can turn. Combined they make the crane a giant pulley that uses a wheel. We use the crane to make buildings that stand straight up, since we don’t have to use ramps.
