The construction is a combination of longitudinal and central structures. This church was a part of a larger complex of buildings created by Emperor [[Justinian I|Justinian]]. This style influenced the construction of several other buildings, such as [[St. Peter's Basilica]]. Hagia Sophia should have been built to withstand earthquakes, but since the construction of Hagia Sophia was rushed this technology was not implemented in the design, which is why the building has had to be repaired so many times due to damages from the earthquakes. The dome is the key feature of Hagia Sophia as the domed basilica is representative of Byzantine architecture. Both of the domes collapsed at different times throughout history due to earthquakes and had to be rebuilt.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2016-01-01|title=Disorders of the Building and its Remediation - Hagia Sophia, Turkey the Most the Byzantine Building|journal=Procedia Engineering|language=en|volume=161|pages=2259–2264|doi=10.1016/j.proeng.2016.08.825|issn=1877-7058|last1=Plachý|first1=Jan|last2=Musílek|first2=Josef|last3=Podolka|first3=Luboš|last4=Karková|first4=Monika|doi-access=free}}</ref>
