Structures do not have to necessarily be geographical landmarks i.e. Eiffel Tower, CN Tower, Statue of Liberty etc.  Think simple.  Refer to your text.  Next, when you are commenting on the form/shape, identify whether the structure is a shell, frame, solid or combination of these.

History 
With the search for the Northwest Passage and the expansion of the Grand Banks fishery, the New World soon becomes a destination for permanent European colonies, in Newfoundland and along the St. Lawrence. Samuel de Champlain begins his legendary journeys, and the precarious beginnings of New France are established. It is an era of unprecedented alliances and devastating conflicts with native people, driven by the merchants' search for furs and the Jesuits' quest for souls. After a half-century of struggle, with the colony on the verge of extinction, Louis XIV takes personal control, sending French soldiers to defend the struggling outpost and eligible young women, the "filles du roi," to become their wives.

European Monarchs (kings) trying to extend their power and grow their riches by claiming land around world;
Martin Frobisher explores Northwest Passage to riches of Asia for King of Englan - lands in Baffin Island/Bay - ships back black rock samples with idea that precious gold is within it upon breaking/melting down - doesn't turn out to be turn - he is shunned by England, called a liar - goes back to being a Pirate.
