Why I chose this topic:

I was intrigued by the 3 orders; I wanted to expand on it.

I’ve always been fascinated by architecture (I almost studied to be one).

Page 4: Greek architecture 3 orders hist 111

Overview:

Part 1: Doric order

Part 2: Ionic order

Part 3: Corinthian order

Page 5: Greek architecture 3 orders hist 111

First things first:

Post and Lintel architecture

The most-oldest and most-basic type of architectural system

Greeks used this system for all 3 orders

From dirt to stone

This system is still used today when we use

2 X 4’s

behind

dry wall.

Part 1: Doric order

The most-basic form of Greek architecture

Began in the 7th century on the mainland in Greece

Remained the predominant form of architecture throughout

the fifth century B.C.E.

The entablature was decorated using Triglyphs (tri = 3, and

Glyph = mark). Every other triglyph matches over every other pillar

across the Frieze.

The shafts have some decoration at the top (the capital), but

go directly into the base (stylobate). There’s no decorative footing.

The shafts have all been fluted

Example 1: The Parthenon477-432 B.C.E.

Example 1: The Parthenon

Page 9: Greek architecture 3 orders hist 111

Entasis:

The shafts have been tapered to be wider at the base, and become more narrower as they move to the top at the capital.

This tapering is exaggerated the closer each shaft gets to the capital.

Example 2, The Templeof Hera I, 550 B.C.E.

(Entasis example)

The doric order provides a sense of masculinity.

Stocky proportions

Plain, and strong visuals

Were constructed to honor great warriors, or even warrior gods, such as Hercules.

Part 2: Ionic order

The proportions have changed: tall and slim is the resounding theme from here on out.

The Greeks started to incorporate designs for each base.

There is more detail seen in the capitals.

The fluting is more aesthetically pleasing.

Doric VS Ionic

Transition slide!

To recap, the Ionic order had the same principles as the Doric order, and more style was added.

A base was added, along with more detail in the capitals, and the fluting is more precise and less edgy.

Part 3: Corinthian order

Taller proportions

More decorative and increased levels of

detail in the capitals.

Acanthus leaves inspired the design of the

capitals
