Very simple question. The brown Forerunner structures on Delta Halo are my favorite style of Forerunner architecture, but why is that the only time we have ever seen them and why would the Forerunners even use stone?
Why do we still use stones and wood to make buildings when we have steel and concrete? I’d wager that Forerunners may have aesthetic tastes. The ruins of Sandtrap are made of stones as well.
I forget the exact name, but different segments of forerunner society had different architecture styles.
Much like how we have different forms of building all over the world.
What Forerunner rate could be responsible for those structures? We’ve seen Builder and Warrior-Servant architecture, and maybe some Lifeworker also. Maybe Miners?
I’m sure the Forerunners were artsy people, and the stone structures were a way of them giving a different look to a certain installation.
Forerunners kept species on the rings. I think those structures might have been built by someone else. Might also be the reason behind the lack of Sentinel maintenance. Not Forerunner - don’t care.
Because they might not even be forerunner as the ruins are older then the ring itself. Could be Precursor.

The structures would have been wiped out during the Halo Event if they were of Precursor origin.

Not to mention putting precursor structures on a installation that houses flood would be a terrible idea.
keep in mind that each builder that created the rings used their own architecture style in this occasion using stone or something, so this might be why its only there and no where else.

Precursor structures on an installation that disintegrates Precursor architecture=fail.
Plus, the ruins don’t match the description of Precursor constructs, and how would the Precursors have built structures on a Forerunner ringworld that was constructed after the Flood appeared in the galaxy?
I read somewhere (I don’t remember exactly where) that the stone buildings were built by ancient humans stored on the ring. I’m not sure how canon that idea is, but it’s plausible.

I like the idea of a species stored on the rings building the structures instead of the forerunners themselves. It makes no sense that the forerunners would build stone structures on their superweapons when they have metal. If it was personal aesthetic taste id think that would be reserved for their homes and cities.
Keep in mind too if you really examine damaged Forerunner stone structures on Delta Halo (and elsewhere) they seem to have circuitry and power running through them. They may not be just simple stone structures but something far more technically advanced and just appear deceptively simple and primitive.

Like in the kilo-five trilogy?
They aren’t forerunner structures.
Spoiler Alert
In “Halo: Primordium” you’ll learn that in ancient human times, humans were given bricks to build structures. These structures are what you are referring to on Delta Halo, which I believe is the same installation that this book takes place on.
Forerunners quite simply wouldn’t make anything so primitive on a Halo, that was the work of ancient humans.
Kinda funny isn’t it? Humans going to these places not knowing thousand one-hundred thousand years before them had created these bricked structures.

Primordium explicitly takes place on installation 07. 1-6 are all brand spanking new.
They also likely never had humans on them, as the librarian specificly needed the humans from Omega Halo and seemed to refer to it as our last population group.
Are you guys taking about the ones on Vahilla? Each base has one.
Maybe the ring housed a sentient species during the relocation efforts for the Halo firing and the Forerunner builders decided having familiar buildings would help placate the population by having something familiar around.
maybe they are from ancient humanities days and they were used as a reminder/monument to them.
given they were put there in one of Bungies games perhaps they were using the ‘humanity are the Forerunners’ story and put the ruins in as a nod to humanities much older heritage kinda like how we keep old monuments etc around today like Stonehenge,the pyramids etc.
But honestly who knows I don’t the buildings their history or actual builders were ever given detail so head canon seems to be the way to go.
Stone would be a good strong base

Because obviously the Forerunners came into existence already using adamantine and hardlight as basic construction materials, right?
Entire planets are being destroyed/turned into roving balls of Flood biomass. As a preservation measure, wouldn’t you take some of your ancient historical constructions and put them in a ‘safer’ place so that they might actually survive the apparent downfall of your civilization?
