Ancient Greek Architecture

Architecture is designing and creating buildings.

Greek architecture is a very specific type of design. Many important Greek buildings had two special components; ARCHITRAVE COLUMNS CAPITOL columns-which are large upright posts. Architrave-a roof over the top.

Even though Greek architecture seems simple some of it was very detailed. The architraves (roofs) were carved with leaves and flowers, scenes of battles, and even mythological creatures. The columns were decorated with lines and leaves and other designs at the very tops and very bottoms.

Ancient Greeks had many rules to follow when making buildings. how wide the columns could be how tall the columns could be how many columns a building needed.

There a 3 main types of columns: DORIC IONIC CORINTHIAN

• Doric: is the oldest and most simple order. • Ionic: is more decorative than the Doric. The columns are taller and thinner. The top of the columns are decorated with scrolls and other patterns. The bases of the columns are also decorated. • Corinthian: is a lot like the Ionic order, but are even more elaborately decorated, usually with leaves and floral patterns Which is your favorite?

Types of Greek buildings Temples: are the most common type of public buildings in ancient Greece. Theatres: performances and plays were a big part of Greek life so many theatres were built Assembly Hall: used to have important town meetings. Parthenon
