Welcome

Welcome! In this blog we will be explaining the architectural and structure differences between Roman and Egyptian buildings, plus how they benefit modern planning.
Some of the buildings we will be examining are the temples, the landmarks (Colosseum, Pyramid etc.) and even the minor homes.

Many benefits have surfaced from ancient structures, inspecting it closer gives us a little push in the direction of evolutionary thinking. Egyptians used ramps, and Romans invented bricks, many things that are a few steps forward in thinking!
Posts will be added regularly, I hope you enjoy
