Profesora: Marta Recio Palanca
ARCHITECTURE
Caracteristics:
- The Greek ideal of beauty was based on balance, harmony
and proportion.
- Predominance of straight lines The buildings were
covered with a dintel (flat roof)
- Archs were not used
- Artists painted the
Buildings but these colours
have not survived
- Materials: stone like marble
The most important building: THE
TEMPLE
- It´s considered the house of the gods, where
only priests could enter. Religious ceremonies
were held outside and so the building was
designed to be admired from outside.
- Rectangular floor plans (although some were
circulartholoi)
- The temples were built on top of a platform with
columns around it called peristyle (peristilo)
- Then, you can find the column in diferent style,
which depends on the “greek orders”: Doric
(dórico), Ionic (Jónico), Corinthian (Corintio).
THE GREEK ORDERS
THE DORIC
- Is the simplest
- The colum has no base
- The capital and arquitrabe
Are smooth
- The frieze is decorated with
Metopes and triglyphs
No base, frieze with triglyphs and metopes.
The Parthenon
THE IONIC
- The columns have
narrower shafts.
- The capital is
decorated with
scrolls
- Teh frieze is smooth
- The architrave is
divided into three
bands
Atena niké
THE CORINTHIAN
- Is similar to Ionic
order, but the capital
is deocrated with
acanthus leaves.
THE TEMPLE
- After the different columns we have an
horizontal structure called entablature which
consist in three parts:
- Architrave
- Frieze
- Cornise
- The building was covered by a gable roof with
a triangular pediment at each end.
- The friezes and pediments were decorated
with reliefs and sculptures.
- The mayority of the temples were made of
limestone or marble.
Interior of the temple
- 3 parts:
 Pronaos: the entrance
hall
 Cella: is the central
room, it contained the
statue of the god the
temple was dedicated
to. The huge statue of
Athena in the
Parthenon was very
famous. (Phidias was
his author)
 Opisthodomos: The
room where the
temple treasure was
kept.
