Pakistani architecture
Pakistani architecture refers to the various structures built during different time periods in the modern day region of Pakistan. With the beginning of the Indus civilization around the middle of the 3rd millennium BC,〔Guisepi, R.A. (The Indus Valley And The Genesis Of South Asian Civilization ). Retrieved on February 6, 2008〕 for the first time in the area which encompasses today's Pakistan an advanced urban culture developed with large structural facilities, some of which survive to this day. This was followed by the Gandhara style of Buddhist architecture that borrowed elements from the Ancient Greece. These remnants are visible in the Gandhara capital of Taxila.〔Meister , M.W. (1997). Gandhara-Nagara Temples of the Salt Range and the Indus. ''Kala'', the Journal of Indian Art History Congress. Vol 4 (1997-98), pp. 45-52.〕
== Indus Valley civilization ==
(詳細はArchaeologists excavated numerous ancient cities, among them Mohenjo Daro, Harrappa and Kot Diji, which have a uniform, appropriate structure with broad roads as well as well thought out sanitary and drainage facilities. The majority of the discovered brick constructions are public buildings such as bath houses and workshops. Wood and loam served as construction materials. Large scale temples, such as those found in other ancient cities are missing. With the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization the architecture also suffered considerable damage.〔Meister , M.W. (1996). (Temples Along the Indus ). ''Expedition'', the Magazine of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Vol 38, Issue 3. pp. 41-54〕

Unfortunately little is known about this civilization, often called Harappan, partly because it disappeared about 1700 BC for reasons unknown and because its language remains undeciphered; its existence was revealed only in the midst of the 19th century (your text says the 1920s), and excavations have been limited. Surviving evidence indicates a sophisticated civilization. Cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro (=the "City of the Dead") had populations of some 35,000, they were laid out according to grid system. Inhabitants lived in windowless baked brick houses built around a central courtyard. These cities also had a citadel, where the public and religious buildings were located, large pools for ritual bathing, granaries for the storage of food, and a complex system of covered drains and sewers. The latter rivaled the engineering skill of the Romans some 2,000 years later.
