Glass: north Syria, Mesopotamia or Ancient Egypt Cement: Ancient Greece and Ancient Romans Although the origins of these materials are geographicaly determined, the use of them has reached a global scale, adjusting it to the local requirements of each society. Today's constructions use them constantly and we do not think of it origins anymore since they have become part of the globalized imaginarium. The benefits of using them transcended territorial barriers, cultures or even time. Vancouver, Berlin or Tokyo, cities far away from the origins of these materials, incorporate them constantly in their constructions. The photograph attached was taken in Berlin not long ago. ![Glass & Cement - Berlin][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14181628867611724.jpg
