inherent abilities to created the beautiful mind, beautiful body. Firstly, the classical ideas of Greek architectures included Doric order, Ionic order and Corinthian order. The structures based on 3 main divisions that are the Stepped platform, the Column, and the Entablature. The Stepped platform can be the stereobate and stylobate, the column contained the doric, shaft, flutes, capital, echinus, and abacus, the entablature includes all the horizontal elements that rest on the columns.

In this study of Alberti's architectural theory we will focus primarily on his thoughts about the purpose of private structures and his ideas about the importance of the centralized cortile. In 1431 Alberti moved to Rome and took holy orders to join the papal court. Because of the great influence the papal court had on building projects around Italy, Alberti took the opportunity to travel and study alongside the most respected designers and thinkers of the Renaissance period. While in
Popular culture always has been transporting people back in time, replicating the history. It is necessary to examine a movie in depth to make a connection between history and fictional storyline in films. The most recent example of this is the movie 300: Rise of an Empire. I attended the movie theater recently to see how historically accurate or inaccurate the movie was compared to original historical events. The movie's storyline takes places in the ancient city-state of Athens and the Persian

Our design finalized, we started building with plasterboard and wooden rods serving as the walls and steeple roof and the columns respectively, caps painted white that served as Doric capitals, and thin wooden sticks that served as the flat roof. Finally, the piece was wrapped in textured contact paper to invoke the image of it being made of marble. The decorations such as the trident placed on the patio. The building step took
Like the Egyptians, artwork and architecture of the Greek Classical Age followed a canon of more freely accepted idealistic forms. While “proportion and order are guiding principles of the classical style” (Fiero 116), other features also played a significant role. These three major ideas, used in combination, are the Humanistic approach, the Realistic approach, and the Idealistic approach. The “Relief with a Dancing Maenad”, is a classical style of art that represents a time when “dance was prized

Introduction The Roman Pantheon, constructed around 126AD, and the Greek Parthenon constructed about 432BC, are famous not just because they are two of the few significant ancient temples that have survived mostly intact for thousands of years but because the offer a glimpse into the past of early Western civilizations. These temples were used by two different cultures and are constructed about 550 years apart, so it is expected that there would be differences. The question to be examined is – Are
1. How do the Acropolis and its buildings show how the Greeks expressed pride in their achievements? What various kinds of buildings are seen there, and how do they form a cultural and religious unit? Acropolis was the center of Athens and was home to much Greek art and architecture including the Parthenon temple, which was dedicated to the Goddess Athena Parthenos. Historians suggest that the greatest Athenian architects and sculptures paid much attention to construction and decoration of the
Did the thought of Greek pillars arise? The Greek style of sculpting is still today an iconic example of Arete. The Greek pillars came in three main types; Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian style pillars. Doric pillars have a sturdy shape with seldom intricate pieces of art. The Doric style was mainly found in colonies of Italy and Sicily. Ionic pillars, perhaps the most famous, are created with a scroll-like design at the top. They were mainly found in eastern Greece.
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 were believed to hold less weight and therefore forced into being placed closer together. This closely set arrangement created a very bold statement in the Doric temple. The Capital, which sat on
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 Tuscan order. Although the simplified columns may at first glance appear to be rather doric in their style, upon closer inspection they prove to be more similar to the less renowned Tuscan order. This in fact, does not diminish the influence the doric temples of Greek architecture had on the Etruscan invention of the Tuscan temple, but rather demonstrates yet again how one culture can inspire another artistically. The Tuscan order refers to "the variation that resembles the doric order, with an
B.C., during which the two elevation designs from Greek temples, called the Ionic and Doric orders, came into form. The Corinthian order is the third classical Greek architectural order originally used in interiors, which began to appear around 450 B.C. The Greeks used columns in architectures including the Parthenon, the Tholos and the mausoleums, sometimes in pairs and sometimes in colonnades. All three orders, occasionally with various different modifications, were adapted by other civilizations
“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
used differently. The ancient Greeks developed a system of orders which were known as columns. There were three different types of columns and each had they own special twist, both structurally and appearance wise. The three orders consisted of the Doric order, Ionic order and the Corinthian order. One shocking fact was that the Romans used the Corinthian columns more than the Greeks did and they were the one that came up with them. Each order could be found in many different parts of ancient Greece
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 columns

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

The top of the column creates a base which supports a statue of Trajan, which is later replaced in by a statue of Saint Peter. The Doric style of the column as can be seen in the simplistic rounded capital that meets the statue’s base. A door on the
world affected modern Western architecture. The remains of the Parthenon, built between 447 and 438 BC, rest on Greece’s southeast peninsula called Attica. At one time, this architectural giant sat on top of the Acropolis in Athens. The thick Doric columns numbered eight on each short side. The furnishings were rather simple and the columns were just thick enough to look awkward. These traits made the building look heavy, yet sturdy. The temple housed the main icons of the wealthiest Greek
