This is a building in Shanghai, China. It is located in a waterfront area called "The Bund". This is an example of classic architecture because it composes of many classic architectural elements. For example, the dome at the top is lighted in gold interiorly (inside). The structure of the dome was used frequently by the Romans. This dome looks as if it is made of translucent glass. Another element we can see are the columns. The columns were frequently used by Greeks and Romans. The columns were used to distribute the weight of the  structure. If not used properly and precisely, your structure could topple over. Your columns should be strong enough to stand the natural elements- especially water and wind.  Another element we can see are the small windows. The Greeks used the idea of small windows to keep the thermal heat indoors- especially during the winter.
