  1. Greek Architecture THE THREE ORDERS

  3. Doric Architecture • The Doric style is simple and severe reflecting the more martial nature of the Dorian invaders • The Doric style was more formal and austere. • The architecture follows the rules of harmony. • Doric columns stood directly on the flat pavement of a temple without a base; their vertical shafts were fluted with 20 parallel concave grooves; and they were topped by a smooth capital that flared from the column to meet a square abacus at the intersection with the horizontal beam

  4. TERMS The CAPITAL is the The "head" of a column, often decorated The ARCHITRAVE is the slabs that actually rest on the capitals The FRIEZE is the wide central section part of an Entablature The CORNICE is ahorizontal molded projection that completes a building or wall. The BASE separates the shaft of the column from the platform The SHAFT is the longest part of the Column

  5. TYPE of Doric Architecture Lord Hill's Column, Shrewsbury - the world's biggest Doric column Lincoln Memorial - U.S. architecture in Washinton D.C.

  6. Ionic Architecture • The Ionic column is more artistic and elegant with rolled volutes • The Ionic order became dominant in the Hellenistic period, since its more decorative style suited the aesthetic of the period better than the more restrained Doric. • Ionic columns normally stand on a base which separates the shaft of the column from the stylobate or platform

Terms The CAPITAL is the The "head" of a column, often decorated The ARCHITRAVE is the slabs that actually rest on the capitals The FRIEZE is the wide central section part of an Entablature The CORNICE is a horizontal molded projection that completes a building or wall.

  9. Corinthian Architecture • The Corinthian column is the most intricate of all with capitals in the shape of acanthus leaves • The Corinthian order was said to have been invented by an architect, Callimachus. • the Corinthian order was actually seldom used in Greek architecture. It came into its own in Roman practice • Proportion is a defining characteristic of the Corinthian order
