The Greeks and other civilizations, like the Etruscans, architectural style consisted of a post-and-lintel system, which meant they had to two upright columns, a post, with a horizontal block, known as a lintel, laid flat across the top. An example of this style would be the Greek temple, the Parthenon, Acropolis. The buildings would look great and massive on the outside, but when it came to the interior, it was limited to space, as the lintels were very heavy, so much of the interior was dedicated

Many different cultures relied upon the form of the stele (stelae) to visually communicate significant information. I would like to compare and contrast the architecture of the Parthenon, which can be found in Chapter 16 to the architecture of the Court of the Lions, which can be found in Chapter 19. It may seem surprising and mysterious to the Western and Christian viewers when first looking a the works of art. However, the works of art are not strange at all because there is so much in common with

techniques In the sarsens circle, all of the blocks have been dressed, made smooth. A unique lintels was placed on the top of these stones, apparently reproducing the ring-beams of the original mortuary hut. People treated these stones as wood, making bevels and chamfers, and shaping mortice and tennon joints to peg the lintels to the uprights. Inside the circle of sarsens, it has five trilithons, pairs of upright stones surmounted by lintels, were arranged in a horseshoe setting rising in height

The Greek architecture, especially public commemorative building usually are single-storey and simple rectangular form. According to the number and arrangement of the building column to made different building form. The temple of the Pantheon was surrounded by columns and the columns of Temple of Athena Nike are placed in the front and back of the building. Therefore, the column, basic and entablature are the key to decide the level of art and style of the building. Moreover, Greece is designed buildings

Classical Greek Architecture The Ancient Greek population was one of the most powerful civilizations of the world. And the power of the people did not reside particularly in military strength, but more so in the high development of its culture and civilization. The ancient Greeks revealed increased levels of innovation in numerous fields. They for instance focused on sporting activities and other competitions and games; they revered their gods and goddesses and they created new teachings that set

The Parthenon has become a paradigm for Classical Style despite not having any true construction breakthroughs as a post and lintel constructed building. The style used in its construction, though, has influenced design since its making. (Ancient-Greece.org, 2017) The Pantheon, while Greek influenced and Roman distinctive, has also had a similar influence on architecture over the centuries. (Romanlife-RomeItaly.com, 2013) Both buildings represented their respective cultures from Greece and Rome and

specifically the exam hall. Trinity Colleges Exam Hall can be described as classical because it is built following the guidelines of Corinthian Order. During the period of classical architecture the Greeks founded the original three orders—Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian—different classical styles of building that followed certain rules and mathematical ratios. The Romans adopted these orders and made them their own. Roman Corinthian Order is the style of the Exam Hall. The most distinctive element

empty area that separates the echinus from the annulets. The annulets are comprised of two rings which is a deviation from the ideal Doric structure. Going to the base of the column, there is a torus with ⅓ the number of rings as the canonical Ionic structure and a rounded scotia that rests on the base. Each column is tapered and rests on a square base that then is positioned on a cement block. The four blocks then drop 1/3 into the stereobate and are also raised slightly above the stylobate

Roman and Greek architecture is something to be revered. It is fascinating that people lacking the advanced technology we have today could create monuments of such magnitude and perfection. Commonly, these temples were built to worship and honor deities, and so they must be built pristine. Although the Romans sometimes cut corners when it came to materials in order to remain economic, they definitely didn’t cut any when it came to scale and appearance. Many early civilizations recycled styles and

the Proportions of the Corinthian Capital In chapter 1, Vitruvius writes of the proportions of the Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian columns and the similarities and differences. The three architectural order by its capital are Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Corinthian columns, apart from in their capitals that has the same proportions as in the Ionic order, but the height of the capitals taller than the Ionic capitals that give it a slimmer appearance. In Corinthian style two thirds are added capitals, that
