HAMMURABI engineering

in the cradle of civilization, there lived a people who built some of the first ever permanent structures serving as homes, businesses and places of worship. Understanding the critical role that buildings play in society, their king commissioned the world's first known building code emphasizing the protection of life and property. Their king's name was Hammurabi, and almost 4,000 years later these values continue to inspire building codes today and highlight the great responsibility assumed by those who design and build.
