The Architecture of Star Wars

3. JEDI TEMPLE, CORUSCANT. The temple’s exterior form adapts the robust typology of Mayan temples, with durasteel cladding specified for the external stone walls for improved defensive strength. Over a kilometre in height, the ziggurat is built above a Force-nexus and has ample room for training facilities, accommodation and the Jedi Archive. The temple has five towers, the tallest called the Tranquillity Spire which has similarities to the minarets which surround the Ahghia Sophia in Istanbul.
