Comparing Structures: Select two works of architecture to evaluate using terminology covered this week. One structure must be located in the United States, and the other from any other country around the world. For suggestions, feel free to visit greatbuildings.com. The initial post should be 250-300 words in length and identify the following information: 1. The location of each structure, to include, city, country and continent. 2. The time period in which each building was constructed, and the civilization/society that existed during that period. 3. Function of each building. What was it used for and is it still in use? 4. Describe the exterior of both buildings, identifying similarities and differences. 5. Note any unique features that make these buildings significant to the study of architecture.
