Architecture: Crosswords on Famous Buildings

Architecture crosswords focus on the buildings that shape the look of cities, and on the people who designed their forms long before computer modelling existed. The clues cover architectural styles from Gothic to Modernism, famous structures from different eras, and the terminology needed to tell a column from a pilaster or an arch from a vault. This kind of puzzle suits architecture students who need to lock in terminology, as well as travellers who enjoy looking at buildings and want to actually understand what they are looking at. Some questions focus on famous architects and structures that became the symbol of their city, from cathedrals to skyscrapers. The topic pairs well with the cities section, since architecture is usually what gives a place its recognisable face.
