Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steel was a game-changer in the nineteenth-century industrial age, as it allowed for the construction of buildings with greater height and span than ever before. This led to a shift in architectural style, with buildings employing steel frames and structures becoming more common. Precast concrete and hexagonal plates were not as widely used or impactful, while mortar has been used in construction for centuries and did not significantly change architectural style and scale in the way that steel did.
