Design inspiration in architectural area is to be drawn from different forms of matters in life. From sixteenth century, designers have been inspired by mechanization. The aesthetic prototypes of their design and movements had been affected by the preexisting objects such like machines. Designers and architects had been continuously searching for ideal patterns and object from machines, and imposed the idea onto their architectural thinking and the efficiency of construction. Geometrical and astronomy tools had been applied in architectural area. Architectural design theories had been generated based on machinery applications and geometry analysis, even military products. With the mechanization of architecture, the form was determined by matter, which is by material and physical size. The design idea became nothing but the pattern of the physical object constrained by its natural attributes. Then the initial observations on machines transferred to construction elements such as pillars, cantilevers, and architraves. The idea continued in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the role of the machine became more evident as the military architect tried to find solutions that achieved maximum security. Furthermore, the spreading of mechanization of architecture was carried out by conceptual developments.
