The use of architecture for religious purpose is a common thread across cultures

The use of architecture for religious purpose is a common thread across cultures. Such examples are monuments and mosques. What religious structures in your community are similar to those you have learned about? How are they similar or different? Are there any unique elements that indicate what the purpose of the structure is? Consider these questions as you review and prepare for your Discussion-Based Assessment.
