Trying to crowdsource some wisdom for an architectural project.
What are the important ideas in architecture that could be communicated to children (approx 6-8 years) embodied in the following buildings:
1) Forbidden City
2) St. Basil's Cathedral
3) Coliseum
4) Eiffel Tower
5) Empire State Building
For example, the Eiffel Tower was one of the most significant iron structures of its time. The Empire State Building is really, really tall. Etc.
I'm looking for insight from those who really know architecture. So fire away...
