TheUrban Structure I have chosen to discuss is: Well this part is easy,just tell me which structure you are going to look at, either: Colosseum,Circus Maximus, Pantheon, insulae (which were Roman apartmentbuildings), or bath complexes (feel free to insert a picture in thediscussion as well of your topic that might be cool)

Why I think this structure is so interesting? Discussa few things about your structure that you find fascinating. TheRomans were amazing builders and each of these structures has somefascinating things about them to discuss.

What urban issue did this structure address? Eachof these structures addressed urban issues that no other civilizationhad to deal with yet. The sheer size of the city of Rome created theseurban problems and the Romans developed unique solutions. For example,if you discuss insulae you could address the fact that Rome had anexpanding population and limited space. Most other civilizations justbuilt outward as they expanded, but Rome, which would eventually be acity of over a million people simply did not have enough land to buildout, so did they do? They built up!!! Created apartment style housingfor the first time in history
Hi kayl, it is more of a critical thinking answer”¦Did the structures solve social Issues? if so which ones”¦Did the structures solve entertainment issues? if so which ones”¦Did the structure solve political issues, it so which ones”¦
How this structure has impacted modern buildings? Thispart should be easy; all of these building structures have left animpact on modern building styles and techniques. Again, if you’reassessing insulae, why do you think apartment buildings look the waythey do, and are designed the way they are? Well, because that’s howthe Romans did it and each of these urban structures created a model forhow future civilizations would design urban structures
