∙ 13y agoRoman architecture and engineering examples are all around us. First is the use of concrete. It's hard to imagine a modern city without sidewalks, streets, and sewers--all made of concrete. Then there is the water system. Roman aqueducts carried water to cities but before the water was dispersed, it was usually sent to holding tanks and then sent out as needed. We have our modern water pipes and many towns have water towers for storage. The Romans gave us the dome which we can see in many of our churches and public buildings, our nations' capitol and many state capitols are domed. Next comes the arch. Most bridges are of the arched variety and all city viaducts are a version of the arch. The Romans can be thanked for giving us pillars, not only for decorative purposes, but for supports for our underground parking garages. Next comes the atrium. Modern public buildings use this architechural structure for their lobbies or waiting rooms or reception areas.
