Architecture Competition: THE LABYRINTH 2.0

When we talk about Egyptian architecture, the first thing that strikes our mind is a pyramid. Similarly, Parthenon is such a good example of Greek Architecture. In history, architecture is one of the major ways to understand the timeline and to distinguish between the lifestyles of people.
Not only monuments, but Every era also had different types of architectural elements. For instance, Greek architecture had Greek columns (doric, ionic, etc.), Islamic architecture had minarets, Byzantine architecture had waffled domes, Chinese architecture had pagodas, etc. These elements were the major distinguishing among all forms of architecture.
