What is the purpose of this work? (Was it a residence, religious structure, governmental or administrative building? Something else, perhaps?)
What material(s) is it composed of? (Wood, brick, earth or other organic matter?)
How is it organized?
How does one enter/approach, move through, and exit the structure(s)?
