Architecture of the Ancient Egyptian • The most important thing was the belief that survival after death depended upon the preservation of the body. (Furneaux, 1969) • http://www.egyptianmyths.net/osiris.htm
Elements • Egyptian columns and motifs • Inspired directly by the physical shape of the vegetation that is abundant in the Nile River delta, such as the papyrus, the lotus and the palm tree.
The Architecture of the Ancient Greek Civilisation began centuries earlier, but it is not until the Periclean Age (dominated by Pericles in the 5th century BC) that we find intellect and the rule of law. (Furneaux, 1969)
The Pantheon, Rome
Influences on Western Architecture • Classical Orders • Archetype – an original model; prototype; recurrent symbol such as building types, elements and motifs. • Basilica form (Roman) > derivation of church form • Amphitheatre (Greek) • Hypostyle Hall (Egyptian) • Assembly Hall (Greek)
