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.
