1. Hampton Court Palace was originally built in the 1520s as a manor house but was rebuilt and expanded by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey into the finest palace in England. 2. Wolsey later gave the palace to King Henry VIII as a gift in 1528 after falling out of favor, and King Henry greatly expanded the palace, adding a vast kitchen and great hall. 3. Over subsequent reigns, the palace continued to be updated and expanded, including the addition of a famous astronomical clock in the 1540s and extensive landscaping in the 1690s, and it remains an important example of Tudor architecture.

Tower of London
The Tower of London was originally built by William the Conqueror as a fortress to control rebellious Londoners after the Norman invasion. Over the centuries, it was expanded upon by many monarchs and transformed into a complex containing palaces, barracks, and prisons. The oldest and most prominent structure is the White Tower, built by William around 1078. Other notable buildings include the Bloody Tower, site of the alleged murder of the Princes in the Tower, and Traitor's Gate, where prisoners arrived by boat. The Tower has housed the Crown Jewels and been used variously as a royal residence, mint, observatory, and high-security prison.
Henry Hobson Richardson
Henry Hobson Richardson was an American architect born in 1838 in Louisiana. He studied in New Orleans and Paris and is considered the first American architect for breaking from European traditions. He developed the Richardsonian Romanesque style characterized by stone walls, arched windows, and dynamic interior spaces. His most famous work was Trinity Church in Boston constructed from 1872-1877, which featured a clay roof, rough stone, heavy arches, and a massive tower. Geometry played an important role in the symmetrical and Victorian design of the church, ensuring its structural integrity and longevity.
Notre dame (Paris)
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is one of the oldest Gothic style cathedrals, originally constructed as a Romanesque church in 1163 and converted to Gothic over the following two centuries. It has large windows, high ceilings supported by buttresses, pointed arches, and a floor plan shaped like a cross. The front features two 69-meter towers and the interior has five aisles and 113 windows. Carved gargoyles adorn the exterior, adding touches of humor with their monstrous faces.
Class 2 industrial revolution and neo classical architecture
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain in the late 18th century and led to widespread changes through new manufacturing processes and technologies like steam power. This transition from manual labor to machine-based production radically transformed industries like textiles, iron production, and transportation. The growth of factories and mechanization heavily influenced architecture, urbanization, and society through the 19th century as the Industrial Revolution spread across Europe and to other parts of the world.
St paul's london
St Paul's Cathedral in London is one of the most famous and recognizable landmarks in the city. Sir Christopher Wren designed St Paul's in the Baroque style after the Great Fire of London destroyed the previous cathedral. At 365 feet tall with its iconic dome, St Paul's was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962. Some key features include the Whispering Gallery that runs around the base of the dome, the Corinthian columns, and the two towers that rise up 221 feet at the western end.
Gothic architecture
Gothic architecture developed between the 12th and 16th centuries in Europe. It began in France and spread to other regions, featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and large stained glass windows. These elements allowed Gothic cathedrals to be much taller and have more windows than previous Romanesque designs, filling the interiors with light. Gothic architecture emphasized vertical lines and a heavenly orientation through its pointed arches and overall tall, slender forms.
Buland Darwaza
Buland Darwaza was built by Emperor Akbar in 1601 AD at Fatehpur Sikri to commemorate his victory over Gujarat. It is the highest gateway in the world at 54 meters tall. The monumental gateway is made of red and buff sandstone and decorated with carvings, inlay work of white and black marble, and verses from the Quran. It has three arched openings topped by smaller domed kiosks and was designed to showcase the grandeur of Akbar's empire.
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is a church located in London that was originally built as an abbey but became a royal peculiar and cathedral. It has historically been the site of coronations for English and British monarchs since 1066. The abbey was constructed in the Romanesque and Gothic styles between the 11th and 16th centuries and contains the tombs of kings, aristocrats, and notable figures in arts and sciences within its walls.

Islamic architecture (1)
The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque in Delhi was originally constructed under Qutub ud din Aibak, but was then enlarged by two later rulers. Shamsuddin Iltutmish extended the colonnades and prayer hall outside the original enclosure, which resulted in the Qutub Minar being located within the new mosque area. Later, Alauddin Khilji further extended the mosque substantially by enlarging the boundaries and adding new gateways, nearly doubling the area of the mosque. He also began constructing another large minar that remained unfinished.
