travel world architecture ancient architecture

Some of my favorite architecture is found in the ruins of ancient civilizations.
As an amateur historian, I love to roam the structures alone, away from the crowds, and try to envision the people who built and lived there.

The ratings shown on these projects are an expression of my own personal tastes and evaluations.
Was the project groundbreaking? Were the spaces inspirational? Was there order and consistently in the design?
How well were the details handled? How was art integrated into the structure? How was the overall experience?
