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.

Roman Architecture

Roman Architecture had an architect were very innovative, their designed buildings have a specific qualities and were borrowed from other culture, they had ability to take from other cultures which applied to have their new faces for architecture, several of the techniques they used helped to influence the types of buildings they built. Roman Architecture had a knowledge were they apply to learn new ways and to create wide spaces for necessary purposes. Usually some of the Roman Architecture more in arch or carved made. They well known on their technique seen in their structures was a beautiful and fascinating major buildings and addition was a common for entrances style. One good example of the rounded structures is Coliseum one of the greatness masterpiece and still regarded as one of the more famous buildings in the world today and the structures that has arch is the Parthenon. Roman learned to utilize new techniques the need for more space created a drive for innovation. All of the buildings built with a great purpose and well planned and they learned to maximize the space uses, usually the arch are necessary for them to talked for announcement and discussed some of  the accomplishment on that period.

Roman Architecture have similarities in Greek Architecture style that’s why some structures are confusing because the techniques were too close. Roman also took elements of Greek Architecture most likely because the two empires were biographically close.

As the Roman empire expanded they became magnificent in their architecture style it runs virtually step with the history of their empires.

Whereas, at beginning, Roman worship for their Gods only at home and in a very simple but because of their awareness to their surroundings they built sites for their Gods; they have space for religious purposes and of course to practice many of their structures philosophies.

I think Roman Architecture start the idea to construct water supply which were built by the Roman army, the Pont Du Gard supplied to the needs of water by the growing population of Roman.

West Asiatic Architecture

West Asiatic Architecture topic get me interesting because some of the words which I have heared and read from the Bibles was supposed dealt in this part of history architecture, like a familiar words, Garden of Eden, Tower of Babel and the famous character Nebuchadnezzar whom the leader for the distructed of Jerusalem. Many stories precisely appeared what was probably happened the time of civilization which wrote in tablet of stones by some of Apostles
By the way make me amazing the time from Prehistoric to West Asiatic architecture that how people being civilized and adapt knowledge and their skill continues to built like palace, temples and tomb for their sovereign or kings, in prehistoric period people in that era made site for astrological purposes which is very neared idea in like babylon period, they built pyramidal towers or also known as Ziggurats have purpose to observe the heavenly bodies, but there are differences on both period because they are not only focused in gods or goddesses to build structures, instead they used it for commercial and social purposes and even to stored their wealth which shown their hierarchy in their community in that era.
Geographically, it gave whole impact and supposed became the sources of minerals in Mesopotamia, Euprates and Tigris river diposited important minerals which is suitable and help for those people like in making buildings in Babylon until it used by Assyrian and adapt in Persian period. The time changes and the period after Babylon honed in to their craft until they get the beauty and perfect color of those materials like bricks which started from mud and clay. Meanwhile, Babylonia known as a traders, they have a lot of workers which they used to build their palaces and irrigation unlike Assyrian they more on socially, sports and fighter, they have great military forces. Persian had same with past era of Assyrian because they used powers as superiority in their community. Whereas, West Asiatic Architecture perceived the era of power, struggles for further extension and to accumulate odds. Palaces and temples being a landmark which remarkable in their hierarchy.

Egyptian Architecture

When I have heared Egyptian Architecture, one comes to my mind it the greatest man made that ever built in Architecture civilization no other than pyramid. It is remarkable landmark of Egypt and one among of the Seven Wonders of the World. Everyone fascinated to the structure of Pyramid even if it only seen on TV or a picture. This would be a dream come true when you see it in actual. For me the topic about ancient Egyptian Architecture is much more interesting because even in our industrialized period, modernist designer adapt idea in some Egyptian Structures. The Egyptian built a lot of temples, tomb and huge sculpture with a lot of paintings in some of those structures. What truly pleasing to the eyes that the structures seems it based in modernist and has a detailed designed from walls, flooring, and columns. Unlike west Asiatic Architecture, Egyptian has much more on massive powers, slaves to build their temples in honors of pharaohs. I think Egyptian started using a perfectly plan, done by a great Architect on that  Era. The whole structure has a function and the solidity abide like in pyramid it has underground or a secret door that according to their beliefs it led to dead end passages. The Pharaohs coffin actual resting place was near  the bottom and where the tomb contained many of the Pharaoh’s personal items. A mummy, one of the representation of Egyptian knowledge in burial and funerary beliefs. This beliefs about the death and the transition to the afterlife, according to them this would be an important preparation that were ritualistically adhered to by the ancient people for their kings and royalty.

PRE-HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE

Prehistoric  architecture  has  a  tremendous  contribution  even in  our  modern  architecture.  Human  started  from  nothing  and  might  have    lack  of   idea  which  they  changed  in  time  goes by. Meanwhile  in  ancient  architecture  structure  many  mysteries  that  how  it  form,  some  question how  and  when  it  built  for   example  like  stonehenge   found  in  England    which one  of  the prehistoric   monument.  Many  speculation    was  exist and  often  Anthropology  spent  time   to   study   some    of  those   structures  but  it  no  precise  time    when  it  totally  built  and how    of  those  huge  stone  blocks    with  tons  of  weight    and   putted  at  the   top,  that  was   really a  wonder,    people  lived  during    that  time    of  neolithic   and  mesolithic  ages  has  great  intelligence  like   what    they  have made    with  the   only  used  of  massive   forces.

Furthermore,  make  me   wonder  that how  they   brought  those  stone  blocks  from  a   hundred  miles  away  and   what   probably  their  purpose  and   how  is  true  that   stonehenge  used  for   astronomical  observation  or  a   sacred  site.  In  addition,  how   people  make   perfect   circle   and   what  tools  they  usually  used  to  make  massive  trilithons  which  is  very  hard stone.  Whereas,  it  simply  symbolizing  the  artistic  mind  of  human  that  ages.  People  begun   to  focus  in  development,   they   usually  learned  how  to  make   crafts  but   before  that  they    only  used    stone tools  for  gathering  food  and  plants   used  for   hunting  wild  animals  and  even  to  make  their  own  shelter.  The  changes  should   brought  them  to  choose  in  a  place  to  settled  where  they  improve  or  more  on  gathering.  It  was  a  majestic  skills   during  a   thousand  years  ago  that  they  made  pottery  and  the   development  of  continues  to  writing.

Prehistoric  human  skills saw  in  some  caves  where  paintings  cultivated  in  stones,  perceivable how  they precisely  lived.  Another   great   skills  of   human  in  that  ages  was  they   built  structures  like  walls   and  shelters   where  made  of   muds  and  strongly  hold  to  the  whole   structure.

Nowadays  human  adapt  some  idea  and  may  be  a  little  bit  similarity   in  prehistoric  structures    design   and  even  materials  used  at  that  time   commonly  use  in  modernist  structures  like  bricks  and   different  style  of  stones.  nevertheless,  the  enthusiastic  mind  of  humans  could  have  been  bring  to  futurerist or  modernist  design  which  started  from  a  prehistoric  civilization  idea.
