Final Business Plan

Stability and balance is also achieved through the incorporation of the vertical and horizontal planes. In the southwest facade of the building the vertical slits are balanced with the horizontal planes created by the cubes, cornice and the ornamental horizontal band that runs halfway through the walls. These vertical and horizontal planes further dictate a rhythmic continuity throughout the building. Building's scale is rather modest in comparison to its site and the surrounding landscape and the smooth texture of the facade helps its integration to the environment. (Figure 4)

Many architectural and urban forms and elements that we witness today are largely influenced by how buildings were design and laid in Rome. Not only in terms of its external design that brought upon important messages but the design of interiors and the significance of spatial arrangement of spaces exist within them has created the sense of physical experience in the buildings as well. Rome’s urban development and the rise of architectural movement began during the time of Augustus

Assess the political and cultural significance of the construction and initial use of the Colosseum.

There are three aisles among the 16 columns in which the middle aisle lead to the front door. The other two aisles on each side leads to the wall in which stands a statute of Augustus and Agrippa. These columns were a bow to tradition but everything else were revolutionary. Behind these columns is a huge 142 feet

Fikret Yegül in A Victors Message discusses the Column of the Temple of Artemis at Sardis and it’s nuances while also comparing it to previous victory columns most notably the column of Trajan in Rome. Here though the column is essentially celebrating its erection, after the temple being left uncompleted for centuries by the Hellenistic predecessors the Romans erecting this column see it as a victory. So it is decorated with wreaths, and inscriptions, and both of this have importance regarding our understanding of Hellenism but the inscription and it’s historical context holds special meaning. Yegül goes in depth on this columns inscription and how the “Columns talk” and how this relates back to the archaic past, and may hold more meaning than just to celebrate the construction of the temple by the Romans.

One of the most important topics in the chapter is the origins of the Roman culture. The discussion of the Etruscan culture helped show its influence on the development of the Roman culture. An example given is through the architecture that the Etruscan culture used and the Roman developments from that culture. The Tuscan order pedestal displays the Roman culture using an early form of the Tuscan order pedastal used by the Etruscan people. This use can be demonstrated through the comparison of the Etruscan temple and the Temple of Portunus in Rome. Another origin of Roman culture lies in the Greeks. An example of this concept is through the display of concepts from the Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer in the story Aeneid by Virgil. The origins

The Ceremonial Complex at Persepolis and the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine are monumental audience halls that exhibited the power of the Achaemenid Empire and the Late Roman Empire to the civilization’s citizenry. Despite the damage caused by age and “spoils of war”—Alexander the Great and his troops burned Persepolis to the ground during a celebration of their victory over the Persians, leaving the complex in ruins—these monuments continue to communicate the might of their creators long past the empire’s demise. The strength and prosperity of these civilizations can be observed in the scale, structural integrity, and artistic value of the monuments.

In this paper I will discuss the Res Gestae, Augustus’ funerary inscription. It was written by Augustus himself in an effort to parade his greatest accomplishments. It’s believed to have been written in 14 AD just before Augustus’ death. The original copy was inscribed in bronze and displayed at the entrance of Augustus’ mausoleum, unfortunately this copy no longer exists. Luckily, there were many copies dispersed across the empire, otherwise this document would have been lost in

Underneath the tympanum is a lintel which is a horizontal beam that is above the doorway of a Roman Church Portal.

‘Tis with the highest level of self esteem and formal enthusiasm that I, Titus Flavius Sabinus Vespasianus, write to ye loyal engineers on this day. ‘Tis also with great pleasure that I wish ye a good marrow. For, my pure argumentation in contacting you all at such a presumably heinous time, is that I wish, to restore Rome, to its previous superiority and glory. Alas, I write to ye in sorrow, for, as you all well know, our Empire has just suffered through a great civil war of Four Emperors in DCCCXXI A.U.C. So, I have taken it upon myself to restore our former grandeur. Though this would be a splendid achievement for me in my time as Emperor, I must ask myself, how dost thou complete such a divine task? ‘Tis but a mere question of how I should go about planning such a strenuous, and inexplicable process, which is why I require ye to comply with my request for a grand building in which we can emphasize

An acropolis (Greek: ἀκρόπολις; from akros or akron, "highest", "topmost", "outermost" and polis, "city"; plural in English: acropoles, acropoleis oracropolises) is a settlement, especially a citadel, built upon an area of elevated ground (usually a hill with precipitous sides) chosen for defense. In many parts of the world, acropolis’ became the core of big cities of classical antiquity, such as ancient Rome, and for that reason alone they are the most prominent landmarks in modern cities with ancient pasts, such as modern Greece or Rome. (Liddell, 2016) However, the story of the Acropolis beings in Athens, following a victory against the Persians and the establishment of democracy, came an age of artistic growth and expression. In the following

The column was standing by itself in the center of the hall, tall and impressive. Feelings of awe caused viewers to reach out and touch the column, as if they could not believe that this marvelous column was in front of them. Angry yet patience guards reminded them that this column is part of the museum exhibition and not of a temple. In Ancient Greece, this column would have been part of colonnade that held the load of the lintel. Then the floor would be raised from the

Denise: The bars outside of our abacus is called the frame and the bar separating the top and bottom row is called the beam. Each section is also called a deck. These are very important terms to know when talking about the abacus.

The axis is the most straightforward technique of combining forms and spaces in Architecture. It is a line that is created by two points to separate a space to portray how the forms and spaces can be arranged in a changeable way.
