Thank you. The two buildings shown are roughly a hundred
years apart.
Have those years brought any improvements in architecture?
Have the last two thousand years? Save for the Taj Mahal,
can any later building compare with the Parthenon?
er, Yes.
The Royal Naval College and Queen's House:

An impressive pile, certainly.
and almost anything else by Inigo Jones or Wren.
Yes, but even two thousand years later, their work was largely inpired by
the same Greek architecture which was exemplified by the Parthenon.
My sister's house, by Decimus Burton.
Fortunate sister.
Lalibela.
Wonderful. But great architecture?
Tippu Sultan's palace.
I've only seen Tippu's Tiger. So far...
...and that's just a few from the places I've been to.
