Each 'country page' has a thumbnail gallery ("front page") visually cataloguing all the projects, which works as a summary of the photographed buildings. By clicking on each building thumbnail, the main page of the project opens to display the full set of images. Project pages have more than one groups of images ("project galleries") within them: exterior day, exterior sunset / dusk / night / dawn / sunrise, interior, closeups & details, different sections / functions of buildings, aerial / drone, etc. which works as another curation filter to help with the viewing process of numerous images. You can either navigate back to the country page by clicking on the 'back' button at the end of each page or by using the main drop-down menu to visit other sections. The menu bar is also placed at the bottom of the website for convenience when pages get long.
