Full Name Professor Course Date The Greek Temple The Greek cities demonstrated their wealth , power and social status , particularly in the temple building . I think these structures say a lot about their style , taste and status . These remnants are the only remaining witnesses of the great and colorful culture and history behind Greece 's generations . In some of the movies , we see about Greece , we can distinguish right away where the location is because of the architectural styles . Buildings are easily recognizable because of its unique fazade . Their intricate designs are everywhere , marketplace , temples , government offices , public and national sanctuaries and so on . Along with this fazade , we will notice that these movies do not only exhibit Greece 's breath-taking site but also actors citing more than once the name of their gods . One more noticeable thing is that the name of the rulers who once held Greece , were the next frequently mentioned names . Most of the times , when we read fiction books about Greece it is centered in religion , war , politics or the combination of those .

The Doric order was invented later on . Its parts - the simple , baseless columns , the spreading capitals , and the alternating vertically ridged and plain blocks , wall painting above the columns - constitute and aesthetic development in stone integrating variants on themes used functionally in earlier wood and brick construction . The Ionic order evolved later in Greece . The first style appeared in stone columns with capitals elaborately carved in floral hoops . As history would say it , this pattern was to be the determining factor in the full development of the Ionic order . In my own point of view , the reason for the gradual and continuous shift in structures is the rulers ' demonstration of power and wealth . Most of the temples were in Doric with a tinge of Ionic style in them . They relied more on painted limestones since marble was not readily available . To carry the weight of the massive structure , the outer columns were not freestanding but were half columns engaged against a continuous solid wall . Possibly , architectures of that time thought it was... |
