I so very much love the idea of this story, and how it starts out.
It reads a little bit like a scientific report/journal entry, which is a very fresh addition to what the others have come up with! :D
What I think, however is that your "twist" is a little too mild. You've set up the plot well, but then fell short when you've only told the person affected the greatest architect of that time... I want to know how they affected it, and what changed in the architect's style because of it. So, while definitely a good story with a great opener, for the next story I would love for you to provide the reader with more detail especially in the "twist" part. :D
Thank youi very much for your entry!
