Web Design is Architecture

The title of this Medium piece - The Future of Web Design is Hidden in the History of Architecture - may seem a little esoteric (it is) but it's also sensible once you see the developmental periods side-by-side. Neolithic architecture as a direct metaphor for the first version of the web might seem like a stretch to say it aloud but once you see it you think "huh, yea, seems about right!"

The real question is being able to conceptualize what the next iteration of the web is and how it relates to future periods. Kind of hard to imagine a Baroque website but I'd love to see it.
