Wow. So in history its okay to make our own story of what happened.

This just simply means that it can be helpful to consider people's interactions with one another in architectural environments to see how it influences their behavior.

How the MARTA developers are planning to build another project like the one discussed is an example of applying the known to the unknown. The developers apply the knowledge about the first project and it influences how the second project will play out.

When learning to read architecture how deep should you dig for influences?

The MARTA development project at Edgewood-Candler Park produced ideas for other projects like it to be developed to provide more convenient housing.

In the article discussing the Marta development project, the developers explain how they devised a way to make shelter, clothing, and feed the humans. The shops would help provide food and clothing.

Material culture is that physical cultural evidence from the past and present

For a supplementary reading, I selected "Marta Breaks Ground on First Transit Development Project". In the article it discusses how a private developer plans to construct affordable housing near a MARTA station to help provide a convienent living space near affordable transit. It points out how the developers plan to make some of the housing affordable for those that live under the median income rate. With this development they plan on seeing an increase in riders. I think the development was a good move. Those that live under the median eighty percent income should be able to obtain affordable housing near an affordable transit station. Parking is also always a problem in the city and I feel that this will assist the issue in parking as well. All in all, the supplementary reading article I chose relates to this article because it draws out important points about how location and the people in an area influenced the construction project.

Lanier, Gabrielle M. "Invitation to Vernacular Architecture: A Guide to the Study of Ordinary Buildings and Landscapes." Historical Archaeology 41.2 (2007): 165-66. Web. 2 Feb. 2017.

The authors of the book wanted to make sure the book was affordable. In the article, the author pointed out the fact that Marta would construct a neighborhood near the transit station to "allocate about twenty percent of the apartment units as affordable housing". I connect these two because the authors of the book and the MARTA constructors both wanted to create something affordable.
