=// Effects of Plagiarism in architecture. //= = =  Normally, the plagiarism is a crime. But in the architecture case it would be a good way to learn some interesting structural issues from the buildings of the architecture masters. The design is learned with the practice, and the students of architecture know that in buildings there are culture elements related to the architect.
