it was made out of different materials

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yeh basically but

as time has progressed materials and technology have evolved and developed as well as the understanding of architecture its self

for example imagine yourself as sir c. wren ( st. pauls) imagine what would happen if he was given the technology and material today, he would think it would be absurd to make a building out of glass and steel!

How has ancient Egyptian architecture influenced modern day architecture?

The question of how architecture of such antiquity has influenced modern architecture is more one of evolution than direct influence, although in parts of the middle east a more direct influence can be seen in the modern buildings of today, with a distinct regional style that one would not see in the west, normally. Essentially architecture, like all art and technology, has evolved over the centuries: Egyptian architecture influenced Greek; Greek influenced Roman; Roman produced the basis of classical architecture which still forms the basis of proportion and scale still seen in much of architecture today. However, there are very many other influences, including less formal styles of architecture, in particular regional 'vernacular' characteristics. These are seen more in less 'designed' buildings, but have also crept into formalised architecture since the Victorian period, most particularly in the Arts and Crafts movement - Lutyens, Morris et al. It is also important to note that true modernist architecture - that seen since the early 20th century, doesn't conform to many of the accepted architectural rules of proportion and rhythm which resulted from classical architecture. I am not an Architect, so perhaps a proper Architect out there can add to this, and/or correct if I'm wrong in anyway.
