The document summarizes the rise and development of cities in Mesopotamia from 3500 BC to 600 BC. It describes the evolution from compact protected cities with temples and ziggurats as prominent structures during the Protoliterate Period, to the establishment of kingship and construction of monumental palaces during the Early Dynastic Period. In the Later Sumerian Period, empires rose with competing city-states and large ziggurats were built. Finally, during the Assyrian Period, the northern region flourished with planned cities dominated by royal palaces rather than temples.

It describes the geography of Egypt centered around the Nile River, which was essential for agriculture and trade. It then outlines the three main periods of Egyptian rule: the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Key developments included the Old Kingdom organizing a strong central state and building pyramids, the Middle Kingdom experiencing invasions and rebellions, and the New Kingdom expanding Egyptian rule. The document also summarizes Egyptian religious beliefs, architecture, and aspects of daily life like the class system.
Palace of sargon
Sargon II built the Palace of Dur-Sharrukin as the new Assyrian capital between 722-705 BC, importing materials from Phoenicia. The palace complex contained over 210 rooms arranged around three courtyards, decorated with reliefs and ivory, and protected by a surrounding wall. A four-story ziggurat stood nearby. Though nearly complete, Sargon II died in battle in 705 BC before fully finishing the palace, and the city was abandoned as a bad omen.
Mesopotamian Civilization and Architecture
This lecture provides an overview of early Mesopotamian civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It discusses the geography and climate of the region, known as the Fertile Crescent, which allowed for the development of irrigation-based agriculture and urban settlements. Sumerians were the first to settle the region around 5000 BC, developing dams, canals and cities like Uruk and Ur. Writing and other innovations emerged as cities grew in size and complexity between 3500-3000 BC. Social classes and kingship developed, with temples becoming important religious and administrative centers marked by ziggurats.

Greek architecture
Greek architecture flourished between the 9th century BCE and 6th century CE. It was influenced by Greece's geography, geology, climate, and polytheistic religion. The Greeks are credited with developing the three classical orders of architecture - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Greek architecture is best known for its temples, which featured rectangular plans and orders consisting of a base, shaft, and capital that represented the human form. Common temple structures included the pronaos, cella, and opisthodomos.
Early christian architecture
The early Christian architecture began in Rome and Constantinople in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. As Christianity spread and was adopted as the state religion by Emperor Constantine, new church buildings were constructed to serve the needs of worship. The most common church design was the basilica, adapted from Roman civic buildings with a central nave and side aisles. Examples include St. John Lateran in Rome and the first St. Peter's Basilica. Some churches utilized centralized plans with circular or octagonal spaces surrounded by ambulatories, such as the mausoleum of St. Constanza in Rome.

Prehistoric architecture
There were three main stages in the development of human settlements according to the document:
1. Early hunter-gatherer nomadic stage with no permanent settlements.
2. Development of grouping into nomadic bands for defense and hunting.
3. Permanent agricultural settlements emerged after the discovery of fire, tools, and agriculture. Specialization and development of arts and sciences occurred. Early structures included huts, tents, caves and megaliths like menhirs, dolmens and cromlechs. Architecture evolved from simple dwellings to planned villages.
Mesopotamian Architecture
Mesopotamian architecture was characterized by massive monumental structures like ziggurats and palaces. Ziggurats were large stepped towers built out of mudbricks that served both practical and religious purposes. They dominated cities and symbolized the rule of gods. Some notable ziggurats included those at Uruk, Borsippa, and Ur. Palaces were also grand architectural feats, such as Sargon's palace at Dur-Sharrukin in Assyria and the structures built by Persian kings at Pasargadae and Persepolis, including the Apadana palace and Hall of 100 Columns.
Temple of Luxor
The document summarizes the Luxor Temple in Egypt. It was built in 1400 BCE and dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. The temple was the site of the annual Opet Festival, where a statue of Amun was paraded from Karnak Temple. It was expanded by later pharaohs including Amenhotep III, Tutankhamun, and Ramesses II. The temple architecture includes a large pylon, courtyards, and reliefs depicting the Opet Festival.
Ancient Egyptian architecture
Ancient Egyptian architecture had some consistent characteristics. Massive stone structures like temples and tombs were favored after the Old Kingdom. Mud bricks were commonly used for houses while stone was used for more permanent religious buildings. Columns were designed to mimic plant structures and corner details replicated binding reeds. Funerary structures evolved from mastaba tombs to step pyramids like Zoser's and finally the iconic Great Pyramids at Giza, which marked a transition to rock-cut tombs in places like the Valley of the Kings. Temples followed a structured layout and carefully controlled light using columns, windows and shadow effects.
Egyptian architecture
Egyptian architecture was heavily influenced by geographical, geological, climatic, historical, social, and religious factors. The Nile river provided resources and trade routes, and abundant stone like limestone was used for construction. Egypt's hot climate led to simple designs with massive unbroken walls. Egyptian architectural styles included temples, pyramids, mastabas, and rock-cut tombs. Columns resembled bundles of plant stems and capitals took forms like lotus buds. Temples had imposing gateways and courtyards, while pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs. Hieroglyphics, columns, obelisks, and symbols like the scarab beetle and lotus plant decorated Egyptian
Comparison between early christian and byzantine architecture
Early Christian architecture emerged in the 3rd-7th centuries CE as Christianity gained prominence in the Western Roman Empire. Churches were modeled after Roman basilicas with flat roofs. Byzantine architecture developed later between 330-1453 CE in the Eastern Roman Empire after the capital moved to Constantinople. Byzantine churches had central, domed plans and decorative mosaics. They combined Roman traditions with Eastern influences like domes supported by pendentives. Mosaics depicted Christian figures and symbols and emphasized the relationship between church and imperial patronage in the Byzantine Empire.
The grand entrance to babylon
The document discusses the Ishtar Gate in Babylon, which was built in 575 BC and was a major entranceway into the city decorated with enameled bricks depicting dragons and bulls. It provided visitors with their first impression of Babylon's grandeur. Most of the gate remains on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin after being excavated in the early 1900s. The dedication plaque left by King Nebuchadnezzar II who rebuilt Babylon describes the gate's purpose as allowing people to gaze upon it in wonder. However, the archaeological site suffered damage when US and Polish troops used it as a base after the 2003 Iraq invasion, though the gate fragments in Berlin allow its magnificence to still be
Egyptian Civilization and Architecture
This document provides an overview of Ancient Egyptian civilization and architecture from prehistoric times through the New Kingdom period. It discusses the natural and man-made determinants that influenced architecture, including the Nile River, climate, resources, trade, politics, religion and defense. Egyptian society was highly stratified and centered around the pharaoh, who had absolute power. Early settlements developed linearly along the Nile. Mastabas and pyramids evolved as royal tombs, beginning with step pyramids like Djoser's at Sakkara. Key cities included Memphis and Thebes. Religion focused on the afterlife, shown through mummification and elaborate tombs.
Greek architecture
Greek architecture originated from wood structures but began using stone around the 6th century BC. Temples were important religious structures but served as homes for gods/goddesses rather than places for worship. They followed orders with distinctive columns and features - Doric used thick columns without bases, Ionic had thinner columns and volutes, and Corinthian had acanthus leaves. Temples also had entablatures above columns and pediments displaying religious scenes. Home designs varied by class from small mud-brick homes to larger stone structures resembling modern homes.

Art1204 classical greek architecture
The document provides an overview of classical Greek architecture, beginning with the origins of post-and-lintel construction in Greek temples and Egyptian hypostyle halls. By the 6th century BCE, stone had replaced wood in important temples, though designs still reflected wooden origins. Greeks adapted to stone's properties by designing temples with towering, spaced columns and solid superstructures. Temple interiors housed cult images rather than being places of worship. The document outlines the distinctive parts of Greek temples and the three classical orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - distinguished by column design. Later sections cover refinements like entasis, temple floor plans ranging from simple naos to grand dipteral structures, and the lasting influence of Greek

Mesopotamia power point
Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern Iraq, was the site of some of the earliest human civilizations. People first settled there due to natural levees along the rivers that protected against floods while enabling irrigation. Several successive civilizations arose in Mesopotamia over 3000 years, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. These civilizations developed systems of writing like cuneiform, advanced mathematics, the wheel, and organized religion centered around temples. Though Mesopotamia faced environmental challenges like flooding and lack of resources, its civilizations left lasting legacies as the cradle of modern civilization.
Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was the first civilization in history located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern Iraq, Syria, and surrounding areas. It began as independent Sumerian city-states like Ur and Uruk before being unified under empires like the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Neo-Babylonian. Mesopotamian society was hierarchical with kings and priests at the top. Their economy was based on irrigated agriculture and they developed writing, mathematics, astronomy, law codes, and architectural achievements like ziggurats and arches.

Mesopotamian civilization
The document summarizes the early Mesopotamian civilization that developed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It emerged around 3000 BC and was composed of independent city-states like Ur, Uruk, and Kish that each had their own government and patron god. Sargon of Akkad later created the world's first empire in 2350 BC by conquering the region. The Babylonian Empire then took control around 2000 BC, with King Hammurabi establishing one of the first legal codes. Mesopotamian culture developed writing, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and made advances in religion, society, and government.
HUM-100: PREHISTORY, MESOPOTAMIA, AND EGYPT (PT. 1)
Objectives:
1. Identify significant world events from Prehistory, ancient Mesopotamia, and ancient Egypt.
2. Identify example of the humanities in ancient civilizations, such as art, architecture, philosophy, music, and literature.
3. Identify major key examples from the humanities that reflect developments in world events and cultural patterns in Prehistory, ancient Mesopotamia, and ancient Egypt.
Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. Several ancient civilizations flourished there between 5000 BCE and 600 BCE, including the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The region had a desert climate but the rivers provided fertile land for agriculture. City-states dominated the political structures, each ruled by a king, and empires like Babylon and Assyria later united the region through conquest. The Mesopotamian economy was based on agriculture and trade of crops and resources. Religion, science, and the arts also developed significantly.
Mesopotamian societies
The document summarizes a classroom activity where students simulated an ancient Mesopotamian society. The activity involved students working in pairs or groups to complete five cultural tasks: creating laws, designing architecture, writing a pictorial language, trading, and creating a top secret catapult invention. The first group to finish building the catapult using materials traded from other groups would win the simulation game and end the classroom activity.

It discusses the geography and climate of Mesopotamia, and how early settlements began along rivers for agriculture. Urban centers like Uruk and cities like Ur developed, with centralized governments and the earliest forms of writing. Major empires like Akkadia and Babylon rose and fell over time, and the languages and cultures of the region evolved, with Persia eventually conquering Mesopotamia in 539 BC. River patterns, climate, trade and constant invasions influenced the rise and fall of Mesopotamian civilizations over thousands of years.
Ancient Mesopotamian Housesppt
Ancient Mesopotamian Houses discusses housing in ancient Mesopotamia. Mesopotamian houses were called ziggurats and were built out of mud bricks and mud plaster. They had flat mud roofs that were sometimes used as an additional living space. Houses lacked windows and sanitation, with cooking and heating done over open fires. Such houses would not be suitable for modern use in Caldwell County without modifications like windows, heating, air conditioning, and improved sanitation.
Mesopotamia Civilization
Mesopotamian civilization began between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. The first civilizations arose in river valleys because the reliable water sources supported agriculture. In ancient Sumer around 3000 BCE, independent city-states emerged that each had their own government and battled each other for territory. Farming was done through irrigation since flooding was common, and farmers had to adapt to the environment. The Sumerians practiced polytheism and believed the gods owned their cities, building grand ziggurat temples in each city dedicated to the most important deity.
Early civilization: Mesopotamia, Assyria, and Persia
1) Mesopotamia was the site of early civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and saw the development of complex societies, cities, writing, and empires like Akkad and Babylon.
2) Sumerian cities like Uruk and Ur developed systems of irrigation canals, surplus agriculture, and specialized occupations, laying the foundations for civilization.
3) Kings like Sargon of Akkad and Hammurabi of Babylon built large empires through military conquest and established some of the world's first legal codes to govern their populations.

Egyptians made contributions like calendars, papyrus, irrigation systems, and mathematics. The major gods were Ra, Osiris, Horus, and Anubis.
Egypt temples
The desert plays an important role as a cultural memory configuration in European tradition, primarily derived from the Old Testament. In the Bible, the desert has two main connotations - as a hostile, dangerous place of hardship, but also as the place where God is encountered and collective identity is formed. The New Testament depicts the desert more as a place of individual isolation and testing, in contrast to community in the Old Testament. Over time, the desert came to symbolize various concepts in European culture through its role in biblical stories.

The document discusses the evolution of human settlements from ancient times to the development of cities. It describes how during the Old Stone Age (Paleolithic), 40,000-100,000 years ago, early humans lived in cave sanctuaries and created cave paintings expressing their beliefs. During the New Stone Age (Neolithic), around 10,000-3,000 years ago, settled communities developed and agriculture emerged as the climate changed and humans developed new relationships with nature. It then examines the rise of megalithic monuments like menhirs, dolmens, and tombs in places like France and Ireland around 3,000 BC as expressions of ritual and religion.
History Of Architecture I - Lesson 1: Intro
The document discusses the history of architecture through examining various buildings and structures from different time periods and cultures. It explores architecture through analyzing materials and techniques, physical contexts, cultural meanings, and representations of buildings over time. The document advocates considering all buildings as important and examining architecture through material, physical, and cultural lenses. It provides numerous examples of structures like the Parthenon, Hagia Sophia, and Pyramids of Giza to illustrate how architecture can be studied through different historical and cultural contexts.
Negative Effects of Stress on Human Health
This document discusses the biological and psychological effects of stress on the human body. It describes how stress causes the body to produce hormones like cortisol that trigger a fight or flight response. When the body is in a constant stressed state, this can lead to negative health impacts. Biologically, prolonged stress can damage the nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, immune and metabolic systems. Psychologically, stress is linked to increased anxiety, lack of focus, eating disorders and addictions. The document emphasizes that while stress responses evolved to deal with threats, modern lifestyles expose people to constant stress that the body is not adapted to cope with long-term. This prolonged stress takes a serious toll on both physical and mental health.
Theory of Buildings ARCH243 - VIII - Mass housing
This document discusses key planning issues in mass housing development. It outlines factors like building density, quality, sustainability, and preventing neighborhood degradation over time. Maintaining acceptable standards, limiting illegal increases in density, and preventing problems like crime are important. The document also examines design considerations like access to units, ventilation, lighting, common spaces, and outdoor living areas. Different mass housing typologies are presented, like using a central core, horizontal blocks, and point blocks. The challenges of unusable outdoor space in some approaches are noted.
Theory of Buildings ARCH243 - VII - Rest-recuperation
Sleeping requires rest and recuperation in a secure, quiet, and dim environment. Ideal sleeping conditions include a private, ventilated space with a bed and limited distractions. However, sleeping arrangements vary greatly between environments and cultures. Some sleep on mats, in crowded homes, on ships or trains, or in defensive "boxes" within a space. Contemporary bedrooms usually contain a bed positioned along a wall, with additional furniture like storage, tables, and chairs. Proper sleeping arrangements consider privacy, relationships, and space needed for other daily activities.
Theory of Buildings ARCH243 - VI - Living room and trad
The document discusses the living room as a multi-functional space in the home where family and guests spend time together in social activities. It describes different terminology for living rooms across cultures and lists common activities that can take place, including socializing, entertainment, eating, studying, and child play. The living room requires flexible furniture arrangement to accommodate different uses and activities through defining zones, with proper clearances and distances between seating and circulation areas. Traditional homes integrated different functions like living, dining, and sleeping into one room, while modern living rooms feature various specialized furniture types to suit different purposes.
Theory of Buildings ARCH243 - V - Circulation
The document discusses circulation spaces such as halls, corridors, and staircases in buildings. It notes that circulation spaces are especially important in public buildings where they serve as monumental entrance halls, fluid corridors, and impressive staircases. However, in domestic settings, circulation spaces are minimized for economic reasons while still aiming for quality through ample dimensions and natural light. Corridors in particular can be boring spaces but there are ways to overcome this, such as overlapping circulation with activity spaces or including cupboards, doors, and other elements to determine the minimum required size. Staircases are important circulation areas that create space and allow different views of areas.
Theory of Buildings ARCH243 - IV - Interiors
This document discusses the design considerations for human dwellings. It notes that dwellings should accommodate various human activities, including social interaction, rest, hygiene, nutrition, work and spiritual fulfillment. These activities require appropriate space, lighting, sensory conditions, furnishings and equipment defined by human bodily limitations. It also discusses territorial behaviors and privacy needs that influence dwelling design, such as intimate, personal, social and public zones. Architects must organize spaces to relate activities appropriately while addressing structure, access, dimensions, lighting and other predetermined or controllable conditions based on the context. Windows, doors and pathways also impact spatial relationships and characteristics.
Theory of Buildings ARCH 243 - III - Outdoors
The document discusses different types of outdoor spaces around homes and factors that influence their design. It notes that outdoor spaces need to accommodate lifestyle needs like agriculture or provide breathing room in dense urban areas. The size and uses of outdoor space helps determine population density. Housing developers aim to maximize building density while planners try to control it. The document also discusses designing outdoor spaces for different family activities and how natural site conditions like slopes and winds can influence space design.
Theory of Buildings ARCH 243 - II - Dwell groups and trad homes
1. The document discusses different types of rural and urban settlements in Turkey and how housing patterns and density have changed over time.
2. Rural settlements ranged from low-density rural hamlets to more dense agricultural villages, while urban areas saw a transition from traditional single-family homes to higher density row houses and apartment buildings as populations grew.
3. As populations increased and urbanized rapidly after the 1970s, density increased in cities through multi-story apartment buildings and planned neighborhoods incorporating detached houses, row houses, and apartment buildings together.
