What medieval architecture is still used today?

If you are asking about actual buildings, there are a lot of medieval buildings in use in Europe, including a large number of churches. Some of the castles are also in current use in a variety of ways. There are sections of towns where most houses are medieval. Architectural style elements that survive from the Middle Ages and are used today include just about anything Romanesque or Gothic, as both these styles are imitated in full or in part in current building, and have been since the 19th century. This is particularly true of church construction. But an imitation of medieval timbered construction used for houses or shops would not be unusual.


Why did the roman make advancements in practical technology during the pax romana?

Much of the technology had been developed before the Pax Romana. The three elements of the Roman architectural revolution (Roman concrete, the arch and the vault), the hypcaust (the system of underfloor heating), the arched bridges, the aqueducts and the stone-paved roads were developed before the Pax Romana. The ballista (a crossbow-like catapult), the groma (a surveying instrument) and the siege machines of the Greeks had already been adopted. What happened during the Pax Romana was that there was large scale construction of infrastructure (roads, bridges, aqueducts, ports and dams) and public buildings using new technologies which had already been developed, rather than further technological innovation. The use of these technologies was pushed further with the construction of ambitious projects, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the bridge over the River Danube), New and more efficient types of ballistas were also developed.
