Raised slabs and terraces with posts are common throughout Polynesia, and at one "ahu site" on Easter Island called Vinapu, temple rocks and statues are structured to show the significance of extended ceremonial platforms.
Elaborate stone terraces are also seen at Hanalapa me'ae in Polynesia and in the Marquesas islands of the mid-Pacific.
In the South Pacific, terrace platforms as special places of gathering were called luakini heiau, a term introduced by the Menehune people who brought the art of heiau building to the Hawaii islands.

Georgian architecture is the name given in English-speaking countries to the classic architectural styles current between about 1720 and 1840, named after the four British monarchs named George.
Unlike earlier styles, which were disseminated among craftsmen through the direct experience of the apprenticeship system, Georgian architecture was also disseminated to builders through the new medium of inexpensive suites of engravings.
From the mid-18th century, Georgian styles were assimilated into an architectural vernacular that became part and parcel of the training of every carpenter and plasterer, from Edinburgh to Maryland.
