Architecture: Crosswords on Famous Buildings

A column and a pilaster look alike, and so do an arch and a vault, but they are different things, and architecture crosswords help you sort them out. You will meet styles from Gothic to modernism, famous buildings of different eras, names of architects and terms that make a guidebook far easier to read. Architecture students need them to fix vocabulary, travelers to understand what exactly they are looking at, and city lovers just for fun. The theme continues the section on cities well: architecture most often gives a place its recognizable face, from an old cathedral to a glass skyscraper. Some grids are easy, with the most recognizable buildings on the planet, others use professional vocabulary.
