Architecture is often discussed in terms of three dimensions, as though it was large scale sculpture, but architecture always has a specific function. Your discussion should address:

• The time period and culture of the structure
• The architect (if known) and patron
• The building’s function
• Its materials — what is it made of?
• Special construction techniques used
• Why the building is considered important. Be specific.
