Societal or cultural needs or ideals.

Write an essay about an example of architecture from your local city or a place you’ve recently visited that communicates societal or cultural needs or ideals. Compare your selected architecture with one of the examples from the textbook (Pont de Gard, the Hagia Sophia, Notre-Dame de Chartres, the Crystal Palace, Katsura Detached Palace in Kyoto, or the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace at Versailles). How do the structure’s form and structure support the function in this instance?
