It is more complex and stronger now. And besides, remarkable ancient buildings are always built for religious purposes..it's different now though. We have so many beautiful structures now!
Ancient architecture was limited to what you could achieve with stone (and concrete). Modern architecture is limited by what you can achieve with steel, reinforced concrete and glass.
Egypt is, of course, a country that exist in modern times. By convention, I will assume you are inquiring specifically about Ancient Egyptian architecture. The ancient Egyptians along the Nile valley relied completely on the regular annual floods of the Nile to allow their crops (and thus, their lives) to continue on. Mixed in with this was the enormously complex spiritual system which included living gods known as the Pharaohs. Ancient Egyptian architecture typically is characterized by enormous massive limestone structures that were never to be occupied are physically utilized by the very people that slaved to build them. Rather, they were meant to be inspiring structures of perfect geometry and massive scale to house the body of the deceased rulers and provide permanent worship for them. The materials used was limited to the limestone rock found in the plains and cliffs off the Nile Valley. In some cases, such as Queen Hatshepsut's Mortuary Temple, the space was carved directly into the cliff. In other cases, such as the great pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the obelisks, massive limestone chunks were shaped into incredibly precise modular blocks which were then stacked.
A synonym for modern architecture is "contemporary architecture." This term refers to architectural styles and designs that are current and reflect the trends and technologies of the present time. Other related terms include "avant-garde architecture" and "minimalist architecture," which emphasize innovation and simplicity.
1.Modern architecture has no boundation that's why we can design any type of building in modern architectue. 2.We can use a variety of materials now , according to our need. 3.We can use history knowledge , for designing new structures.

They are modern. Ancient Egyptians did not make brooches.
Roland Freart has written: 'A parallel of the ancient architecture with the modern..' 'A parallel of the antient architecture with the modern..'
I love a combination of both. Modern buildings are a good indication of how architecture has evolved and historic structures are fascinating. Ancient architecture is quite intriguing.
They are called Egyptian hieroglyphics in modern times. In ancient times, they were called "words of the gods"
Both ancient Greek architecture and modern architecture emphasize the use of columns for structural support. Both styles also prioritize creating harmony and balance in design, often incorporating elements of symmetry and proportion. Additionally, both ancient Greek and modern architecture place importance on creating buildings that are functional and serve a specific purpose.
