One thing I've wondered about is that, because Gem's bodies are illusions, they are not affected by the weather. Therefor they do not need buildings for their primary purpose, which is sheltering the builders.

There are other secondary uses for buildings, mainly sheltering the possessions of the builders.

So I can imagine that the Gems might have Labs, Offices, and so on, places that are built for working in so that the artifacts used are protected from weather. Also fortifications would make sense. However it does not make sense for the Gems to build homes. Instead they would merely need storage facilities for their belongings (Amethyst's room being a perfect example). Most of it is probably decorative, and more importantly, ceremonial in nature. Temples and shrines and stuff. Gems are also the self-worshipping types to erect statues of themselves. I mean, even Rose who is supposed to be so humble and stuff still is depicted friggin' everywhere! Rose-worship by the Crystal Gems even rivals Diamond-worship by Homeworld Gems, heh.
