LEARNING FROM FAILURES: case STUDIES Version II 42 - {PAGE } LEARNING FROM FAILURES: case STUDIES INTRODUCTION In pre-industrial societies, once a craft-based technique or thumb-rule for design was judged adequate for building an artefact, it was not considered necessary to develop it any further. The methods of design of buildings in those societies changed very slowly over time.

Generally, these buildings symbolised the greatness or valour of a particular emperor or the glory of a particular God or religion. The impressive temples built by the great Chola or Pandia Kings in South India or the great Gothic Churches and Cathedrals in Europe (particularly in Italy) are excellent examples, which are impressive even by today s standards.
