Greek, Roman and Middle Ages Architecture Review Greek, Roman and Middle Ages

What are the Three Orders of Greek Architecture What are the Three Orders of Greek Architecture? Columns in Ancient Greece are of three orders: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Doric style columns are plain, sturdy, and heavy with simple capitals and no base. Ionic columns are more slender than Doric columns. The capital of the column contains scroll-like curls or rams' horns. The capital of a Corinthian column has acanthus leaves and looks detailed.

Architecture Terminology Frieze – a decorative horizontal band that runs below the pediment. It would have relief sculptures in it. Pediment – the triangular section on the façade of a temple. It would hold sculptures that would depict gods or tales from mythology. Column – the post that held a capital at the top of it. Post and Lintel – a method of construction in which a crossbeam is placed across the opening between two uprights.

Roman Architectural Achievements Rome’s greatest contributions were in the field of architecture Accomplishments: 1. Concrete-a mixture of powdered minerals and small stones. Concrete was used to create buildings with great domes and ceilings. The Pantheon is the largest domed building from ancient times still standing. 2. The round arch. This curved arrangement of stones over an open space opened up new building opportunities. Roman Architectural Achievements

Roman Architectural Achievements 3. Aqueduct-a network of channels meant to carry water to a city. The aqueduct was built to carry water over a valley 600 yards wide and is 160 feet high. 4. The triumphal arch. this was a monument built to celebrate great army victories. The largest ever built was the Arch of Constantine. The rounded arch as used here by the Romans was purely decorative. Influenced by the Greeks, the Romans built larger arched theaters on ground level with high back walls. Some ancient Roman theaters were even “air-conditioned” by a system of moving air and streams of water.

Coliseum The Coliseum is the best known of Roman buildings. It combines the use of arches, columns, and concrete to create the structure. It is a new type of building called an amphitheatre in which two ‘theaters”, facing each other, were combined to form an arena surrounding an oval space. It was located in the center of Rome and seated 50,000 spectators. The circular sweep of the building is countered by the vertical lines of engaged columns flanking each arch. Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns mark each level. It housed the gladiatorial games, including the martyrdom of Christians by turning lions loose on them as a gruesome “spectator sport”.

Middle Ages 475 A.D. to 1500 Divided into three periods - Dark Ages 475-1000 - Romanesque 1050-1150 - Gothic 1150-1500
