Only after the nobility of these cities entered into the pacts that transformed them into Tieflings would the architecture likely change, as their buildings and art would have changed along with their culture and worldview, as their dealings with an outside culture (the devils) influenced them. So, most Tiefling cities would have a mix of Infernal and Human architecture, unless they were completely built over or founded after the pacts were made. It would be interesting for me to see a future dungeon adventure in a Tiefling city where it appeared Tiefling on top, but lower levels of a dungeon would have evidence of the original human culture that had been covered over the centuries since the pact but before the empire's fall. I'd image they could look like a tel of Earth's middle east, where a city is built on a great mound made of the crumbled and buried remains of earlier cultures.</blockquote>
