influenced modern day architecture by the use of columns, theaters, and public structures. Greek architects invented several different styles of columns; the simplest column, called the Doric column, is used throughout architecture today. “In the Doric Order, the column shaft is simple
Each was built using one of the classical orders of architecture and a well-known structure of their time. According to resources given, both were not the original structures; each one is the third one of its kind to be built at, or near, the current site. Both are considered a tourist mecca in modern times. The history and heart of the structures lie in their differences. There are three types of classical orders in Greek architecture, namely Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Although both have a Classical
concentric circles in brick and masonry, and is composed of a raised contour relief of the boot of Italy and a construction of several staggered, interconnected facades following the lines of the circles. Each facade incorporates one of the five Classical Orders in various materials, including marble, stainless steel, artificial lighting and water. The facades are one side of the space and the whole is surrounded by a ring of
many classical orders and decoration. Classical architecture generally signifies architecture which is more or less deliberately derived from the ideologies of Greek and Roman architecture of classical antiquity. the facade introduced a completely new classical style, whereas the nave of the church was late or flamboyant gothic. Which is why this church is credited as starting the French Baroque style. The facade is situated up fourteen steps and features the three classical orders of architecture
elaborate and decorated with acanthus leaves. On the architrave, as in Ionic temples, there is a continuous frieze where the triglyphs and metopes would be on a Doric temple. At the top of the columns, on the capital, there's a stone carving of acanthus leaves, under the architrave."(Greek Architecture Influences America's Architecture. Ann Wesley, n.d.

The Romans also created their own column style known as the Composite Capital which was a combination of the volute from the Ionic order and the acanthus design from the Corinthian. (Cartwright,

If students have difficulties differentiating the characteristics associated with covalent and ionic bonding, they will suffer with future topics and other branches of chemistry. Ionic bonding is a crucial topic to understand within general chemistry reactions. Covalent bonding is a root within Organic and Biochemistry that needs to be understood in order to fully understand the theories and concepts discussed in both forms of chemistry.

Modern Architecture around the globe had been influenced by ancient Roman and Greek architectural. Although both ancient Romans and Greeks are recognized for their innovations in architecture having both constructed a variety of buildings and structures that can still be appreciated today, they appear to have concentrated mostly on the creation of temples which at first sight seem similar but in reality they each diverged and had their own identity and served for different purposes. Ancient Greek
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 materials from previous civilizations and monuments, the Romans in particular, and created their own styles and temples
