Greek Architecture


Greek Architecture was very influential about in their styles and techniques and which most of the Greek Style used in other countries predominantly in Europe and United States because of the perfect contour and interesting design where used even nowadays. Those style became the new mode of Architecture.
Greek influenced our civilization, described in their God and Goddesses, many people today knows about some of Greek Mythology stories. Greek culture emphasized the beauty of the human body and created idealized human gender forms are still used even today. I was wondering in a majority of Greek Architecture and sculpture includes depictions of the human body particularly to a God or Goddess. They developed of an ideal model of human proportions when they created sculptures of the Gods. This symmetry and proportion existed in the idealized human forms which can be found in their sculpture was reflected in the civilization of Architecture as well.
First people of Greek period began to built structures in a very basic because they usually built a rectangular shape with the use of stones or mud bricks. Most of the homes had one room but the changes of civilization the styled changed too because their forms were mostly residential and the houses were private and have a lot of rooms.
Furthermore, Greek Architecture well-known of their column style, it can distinguish in main ways such as their tops and bases and has channels carved into it. When you look at the roman culture, you notice that many similarities between it and the Greek culture designs including the Architecture.
