Hephaestus. (Roberts, "Erechthēum" ) To the south-west of the building stood the olive tree, which is a gift of Athena to the city of Athens. The whole structure also consists of two porches, the north porch at the northwest corner is supported by six tall Ionic columns, stands at a lower level and gives access to the western cella, while below its floor it was believed to be the spot where Zeus killed the legendary King Erechteus with a thunderbolt.

Frieze Fragment, early 16th century, marble, sculptural architectural. A decorative, rectangular marble sculpture, this piece uses elements like form, composition, space, lines, texture, proportion, and scale in order to create a piece that shows balance and movement. Frieze Fragment, is divided into thirds and can be examined like an unfolding story. From left to right it uses a rectangular base as a way to read and observe the three dimensional figures, who appear to be coming to life in the
The U.S. Custom House borrows many architectural features from ancient Roman temples. The U.S. Custom House and the Maison Carrée bare many architectural similarities. With similar ornamentation decorating the front and sides of the building, the buildings’ floor plans differ. The U.S. Custom House is symmetrical from front to back and can be accessed from both sides. The Maison Carrée resembles the traditional floor plan of a Roman temple. The U.S. Custom Houses is used for governmental purposes
(NH4)2SO4 + K2SO4 (1a) However, we know that in an aqueous solution, all of these compounds except iodine will dissociate into their ionic components. Thus we can rewrite the equation in a more convenient manner: S2O82- + 2I- Ã I2 + 2SO42- (1b) It is important however to note that the NH4 and K ions are still in the solution, they are just unreactive. In order to measure the rate of the reaction, the conventional method would be to measure the species in question at certain times. However
for support. Each temple would have a cella but they were not identical. The Greeks developed an architectural system called an order, to distinguish the different styles of temples. Each order has a different proportions, entablature, and columns. The three Greek orders are called Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The Doric order is considered to be the masculine order. The columns are short and stout and very plain. A Doric column has no base a... ... middle of paper ... ...he most important
oppositely charged ions are held together by strong ionic bonds in a giant lattice and this means electricity cannot pass through it and the ions are unable to move. If electrolytes are molten or dissolved in water their ions are free to move, and the movement of ions in liquids is key in electrolysis. Electrolysis takes place in an electrolyte cell. The diagram below shows the apparatus used in the electrolysis of molten or aqueous ionic compounds. The electrodes (anode and cathode) are
new stone temples. The population grew drastically, introducing new techniques and styles, which blended to form designs with balance and symmetry. It was during this period, two major Greek designs were developed, the Ionic and Doric order. (Pedley, 2012: pg. 180) The Doric order, being the first and most simple, consisted of baseless columns placed closely together as the Greeks did not know how much weight the shortened columns could hold. Reason behind this was the lack of length in the columns
When ionic solids dissolve, they divide to give their positive and negative ions that make up the solids. These ions become hydrates and have the same relative proportions when in solution and when solid. The more the solid dissolves, the more the ion’s concentration increases. This increase and build-up allows for the reverse reaction to occur. In this phase of the reaction the ions crystallise out in order for the reaction to have a greater chance of occurring. Eventually the rate of dissolving
Temperature. Background Knowledge Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) is an ionic compound. The strong ionic bonds hold the compound in an ionic lattice which gives KNO3 its crystalline structure. These ionic bonds also have other properties which will affect my investigation, I must be aware of these properties for greater accuracy in my method. The ionic bonds give KNO3 high melting and boiling temperatures. In the case of KNO3, ionic bonds are present, which are strong and hard to break under room
example of Lead Bromide. [IMAGE]The lead bromide is separated into molten lead and Bromide. PbBr(l) Pb(l) + Br²(g) When lead Bromide is melted, the ions are free to move towards the oppositely charged electrode, because Lead Bromide is an ionic substance. [IMAGE]When the positive lead ions move to the negative electrode, they gain electrons in a reduction reaction: Pb²+ + 2e- Pb [IMAGE]In the same way when the negative bromide ions move to the positive electrode they lose electrons
is just one of these developments. These newly developed technologies, such as concrete, enabled new building approaches and methods. The arch, the dome, vaults and columns, which shall be explored in further detail, were also heavily exploited in order to reach their full potential in construction. This greatly enhanced the way construction techniques were utilised and the abilities of the architects of the time. I will argue that Roman architecture brought about a new way of designing and constructing
“swell” in the middle (entasis) reducing the space between the columns which “strengthened the corners.” Elaborate sculptures were once displayed in temples but have since been removed. Three elevation designs called “orders” were developed over time. The three orders are named Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. All
located on 28 Wall Street was built by Ithiel Town and Alexander Jackson Davis in 1833.It is made of stone and has a distinctive Greek Revival style of architecture. It was carved from marble in Westchester County, New York. The columns are of the Doric order and the building resembles a simplified version of the Parthenon. The building is of great historical significance because it is the sight of George Washington’s presidential inauguration. The strong Greek Revival style embodied the American spirit
Greek Empire (600 B.C 1 A.D) Doric Order- entasis- swelling of the columns -always used for largest temples -alternating triglyphs and metopes Ionic Order – scrolls -shafts are thinner - no triglyphs in frieze Corinthian Order –large temples -no triglyphs, just metopes. Archaic Period – 600-500 B.C - stiff and rigid pose - focused on anatomy - archaic smile - Kouros, Kore – male and female archaic sculptures. Classical Period - depict distinct motion (Apollo belvedere)
“What did you do this summer?” our teacher grinned, as he announced the topic of our first essay this year. Everyone around me groaned in disappointment, but I raised my head, smirked, and realized, for the first time, my summer was extraordinary. As part of a deal my dad made, with my mom, for forgetting her birthday, we spent our summer in Rome. Every emotion was heightened, from getting off the plane to stepping into the taxi; this was the first time our family had stepped on European soil. After
vaulted corridors and stair ways is devised to ensure the smooth flow of traffic to and from the arena. The semi-circle outer walls of the Colosseum consist of three levels, the three Classical orders are superimposed according to their "weight": Doric, the oldest, on the first level, it's followed by the Ionic, then the third level the Corinthian capitals. These are the basic structures of the Colosseum in Rome. The Organ Pavilion is not a exact duplicate nor does it look anything like the Colosseum

That is, it is the heat given out when water molecules are produced from one mole of acid.

conquer the Persian Empire in the Persian Wars. The Parthenon had a style new to that era and it was impressive to the eye. The Greeks had to the work diligently to create the Parthenon in perfection. It was built in the masculine Doric style with some Ionic elements. To me the Doric style provided the perfect look, which demonstrated the Athenian desire to be perfect god-like beings. Using this style, the Parthenon hardly incorporated a single straight horizontal or vertical line. This bulging of the
The beginning student of chemistry must have a knowledge of the theory which forms the basis for our understanding of chemistry and he must acquire this knowledge before he has the mathematical background required for a rigorous course of study in quantum mechanics. The present approach is designed to meet this need by stressing the physical or observable aspects of the theory through an extensive use of the electronic charge density. The manner in which the negative charge of an atom or a molecule
