Each of the three Greek orders, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, are well represented. However, this paper will deal with the Ionic and Corinthian

The Romans also created their own column style known as the Composite Capital which was a combination of the volute from the Ionic order and the acanthus design from the Corinthian. (Cartwright,

double diagonal as shown in Figure below. If there is no architectural limitation, diagonal bracings are considered to be the most efficient in resisting the lateral forces due to wind as these form a fully triangular vertical truss. The beams and columns are designed to take the gravity loads only. K-bracing The full diagonal bracing is not used in areas where a passage is required. In such cases, k-bracings are preferred over diagonal bracing because there is a room to provide opening

The Greeks used Doric, Ionic, Corinthian order columns in their architecture (Fiero 59). One example of Doric columns can be found in the columns that helped support the weight of

Oath of the Horatii is life size oil on canvas painting that is about thirteen feet wide by ten feet tall. The painting was done by Jacques-Louis David, who was the leading Neoclassical painter in France during the eighteenth century. David rejected the Rococo style that was popular of that time, which was characterized by fantasy and playfulness. David was interested in painting images with antiquity.

The Tuscaloosa Federal Courthouse was built in 2011 to replace the office styled federal building. This new building mirrors the Greek revival styled widespread in government buildings in the United States. This style was used to match the authority the style has come to represent and was inspired by other Tuscaloosa buildings including the President’s Mansion and the State Capitol. The building is multipurpose by housing multiple courtrooms as well as several other government offices. Its courthouse
