peer agreement (net): +3monumental architecture Explanation: I agree with the idea of Miriam's answer, but this is how it is commonly (and more concisely) expressed. "The concept of monumentality embraces several types of built structures: palaces, élite residences, administrative complexes and political centres; ceremonial centres and ‘temples’; fortifications and defensive compounds; and tomb constructions. Monumental structures can express power as well as mask it." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-08-23 16:07:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Ceremonial" is another possibility, though monumental is my preference.
