Prehistoric Architecture Villages: –Multiple permanent dwellings in close proximity. –Need for creating public areas. –*The art and science of architecture began with the planning and construction of the first dwellings and public areas. Drew outlines in the sand or dirt. Created small stick models

Egyptian Architecture

( B.C.) –Construction Techniques: Wood was not widely available. Houses made from blocks of sundried mud and clay. Used of columns for load bearing open entrances. –Most known for its grand pyramids. Structures built for the temples and tombs of emperors. All loads are supported from the larger base below. Made of limestone or granite that were cut to fit together. Decorated with hieroglyphics and carvings

Greek Architecture

(850 B.C. – 476 A.D.) –Buildings were created to precise symmetry, mathematics and engineering. –Construction Techniques: Built of stone, granite and marble Symmetrical buildings made up of columns, entablatures and a roof. There were three main types of columns that defined Greek architecture. –Doric –Ionic –Corinthian

Parts of a Column

Greek Column (Doric) Features: –Simplest design –Originally placed directly on the ground without a pedestal or base. – Shaft is wider at the bottom. –Shaft is grooved. – Smooth, round capitals (tops). –No carvings or other ornament decorations.

Greek Column (Ionic) Features: –More slender than Doric –Stands on a base of stacked disks –Shafts are usually grooved, but can be plain –A pair of volutes (scroll- shaped ornaments) decorates the capital
