ORGANIZATION IN ARCHITECTURE CHAPTER 6 By: vhei
Egyptian Architecture (4000-2280 B.C.E) • The religious rites of the Egyptians were traditional, virtually unchangeable, and mysterious, and these traits are reproduced in the architecture, both of tombs and temples.
MESOPOTAMIAN ARCHITECTURE (6th Century B.C.E) • Mesopotamian Architecture is evident in its palaces and temples. • Example of this are the Ziggurat • Looks like a tower • Built at successive levels • With ramps leading from one platform to the next. • Modern building with setbacks
GREEK ARCHITECTURE (1100-100 B.C.E ) As was the Egyptian temple, Greek Architecture in its most characteristic form is found on the temple, a low building of post-and-lintel construction.
3 types of Greek Architecture • Doric • Ionic • Corinthian
Doric • It is seen in the temple of Apollo at old Corinth and in the Parthenon • One of the greatest temple ever built. • Doric column has no base • the bottom of the column rests on the top step. • The Doric order identified by the low-cushion-like shape of part of its capital • The frieze is divided into triglyphs and metopes.
Ionic • Column is taller and more slender than the Doric. • It has a base and ,the capital is ornamented with scrolls in each side. • The frieze is continuous. • The architecture below the frieze is stepped • Divided horizontally into three parts • Features can be trace their ancestry to Asia Minor.
Corinthian • with base and shaft resembling than Ionic • Much more slender • distinctive feature is the capital The Corinthian entablateur is not distinguishable from the ionic in Greek Architecture. They share same entablateur.
