Greek Architecture

One of the many accomplishments of the ancient Greeks is their art and architecture. Public buildings were decorated with carvings of animals, people’s faces, leaves and flowers. Every element of a building was a work of art. The style used in Athens in the 400s B.C.E became standard in the Greek world and is known today as Classical Architecture.

Greek life was dominated by religion, so it is not surprising that their temples were the biggest and most beautiful buildings. The temples also had a political purpose, as they were often constructed to show civil pride and power or to offer thanks to a patron god or goddess of the city-state for success in war. The temples were made of limestone or marble, with a roof or ceiling made of wood. The builders made use of stone columns.

Types of Columns: There are three different types of columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The names (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) show the geographic area in which they were frequently found.

Doric Columns The Doric style was simple. The columns were either grooved or fluted and had a plain top (capital). The column did not have a base, it stood flat on the floor.

Ionic Columns The Ionic columns were more delicate and decorative. The columns were taller and slimmer. They were also fluted, but had a flattened rib between each flute. The columns rested on a decorative base (plinth). The capital was carved into a fluted shape.

Corinthian Columns The Corinthian columns were still more decorative and delicate. The columns were also fluted and had a flattened rib between each flute. The capital of this column has carved leaves and vines. It appeared approximately 5th century B.C.E.

Examples of these types of columns can be found in buildings today all throughout the world. The New York Stock Exchange in Manhattan has Corinthian columns.
