Is the Taj Mahal an engineering marvel?

We have to do a report on an engineering marvel and I was wondering if the Taj Mahal is. If it isn't are there anyother engineering marvels in India?

reigning queen
Yes, I guess it is. About 25,000 people were hired to build it and the landscaping in front of it is designed to look like a persian carpet.


prasad g
no it not, it used failry conventional design and building techniques for those times. what was unique was the use of marble imported form other locations of india and the large labor pool. one could argue that the buddha stupa (you see these on the national symbol with 4 lion heads) is made from sponge iron and a process that did not exist then: it does not rust!


debarshi
Yes Indeed it is. Recently I read an article somewhere which mentioned that the Taj has several floors even underground, which was used to store precious things!!


KR
Taj Majal should be considered more of an artistic marvel then engineering marvel. Marble used and art done on those marbles is definitely world class.

The two engineering marvel would be the "symmetry" of the building and the dome. Building dome of that size was very trivial at that time. Symmetry of the building may be considered as marvel in engineering process.
