Colonnade

Theatre architecture in Italy was most exciting during the Italian Renaissance. So we are going to look at the architecture of three very important theatres from the Italian Renaissance and see how they not only influenced each other but also how they have influenced the architecture of theatres today. We are going to start in Vicenza, Italy with the Teatro Olimpico, make our way over to Sabbioneta, Italy to the Teatro all 'antica and then end up in Parma, Italy where the Teatro Farnese is located

popularly used colonnades for architectural support in temples which symbolized trees within a perfect eternal forest. The Phoenicians temples were designed in a longhouse structure with longer than wide configuration in which entryways were framed with columns on either side. The Greek Parthenon was designed with these two influences at work; the structure of the longhouse reminiscent of Phoenician temples and the columns on either side of the doorway which began continuous colonnades along each length

“It still hosts plays and events,” explained Theokles. “However, the southeast wall provides the best view of the oldest Greek theater below the Acropolis, the Theater of Dionysius. In fact, the stone seating dating from 330 BCE provided enough room for seventeen thousand people to enjoy plays such as the ancient Greek tragedies of Euripides and Sophocles. Moreover, the very meaning of tragedy comes from Greek plays. In essence, the ancient Greeks believed that the fate of mortals was at the

have had little classical stature; they highlighted not only the advanced expertise of Rome but also placed Rome as the leader of classical culture. Bases and capitals were aesthetic symbols of the period of transition. Guidelines for aesthetic colonnades were created by Vitruvius, the Roman author, who organised them into three groupings (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) which would portray a certain

the Erechtheum, they wished to provide for several shrines in one building, and under one roof. The irregularity they have made so beautiful and interesting that it is a wonder they did not repeat the idea many times in other structures. Its two colonnades of different designs, its remarkable north doorway, and the famous caryatid porch to the south are unsurpassed. Another temple, that of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus, was known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. THE GREEK CORINTHIAN

In Rome, the first known Basilica, the Basilica Porcia, was constructed by M. Cato in 184 BC. This construction was of a kind never before seen in Rome. The interior of Basilica consisted of colonnades, which had a functional purpose, but also served as an expression of Roman political clout. On the outside, we see the use of a two-story colossal order. Thomas makes a comparison between this form and a description provided by Vitruvius of the giant order of his supposed basilica in Fanum, which boasts

Using suitable examples, briefly describe the form and origins of the Doric Temple, and discuss the level of refinement achieved by the Parthenon At the start of the Archaic period Greek civilisations began to outgrow the capabilities of the lands they owned. This led to them setting out in search for new land and territories to inhabit. These new territories expanded around Sicily, Southern Italy, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean and were set out in a grid like plan that the Greeks were

Callicrates made the structure to house the Athena Parthenos made by Pheidias from gold and ivory that was recorded as being twelve meters or thirty nine feet tall. The Parthenon is a post and lintel temple, built with a octastyle facade and Doric colonnades. It has seventeen Doric columns on it's flanks which conforms to their established nine to four ratio. The porches of the Parthenon are again made of the Doric order, but there are now only six of them. The large cella housing the statue had doors

Introduction For the purpose of this paper, the passage of John 10:1-38 will be taken into consideration. This passage is found in the midst of the many miracles which Jesus performed throughout his three-year ministry. Overall, it is an analogy of entering the kingdom of Heaven. There are many different figurative language ideas, theological ideas, historical ideas, cultural ideas and so much more which impact the depth of meaning found here. There is much to note along with many parallels in scripture

It is reasonable enough to say that the Altar of Zeus was an architectural transition from the previous model of Parthenon for that they were built with many similarities yet distinguished in noticeable details. The artistic transition from the Parthenon to the Altar of Zeus represent the evolution from disciplined Athenian to a more dramatic Hellenistic culture, because of the uncontrollable instability of the later 2nd century B.C.E. The Altar of Zeus transitioned from Parthenon’s traditional
