Architecture Research Paper

Architecture, one of the most common studies taken(and personally what I’m taking

on). I believe that architecture, plays a main role in everyones life. “Architecture- The art or

practice of designing and constructing buildings.”. So basically, without architecture, we

wouldn’t any schools (yeah any students reading this probably do NOT want architecture to

exist.), we wouldn’t have any libraries, or any buildings in general. You can live four days

without water, three days without food, but only three hours without shelter. So, you cannot

LIVE without architecture, it is the act of creating buildings, buildings are shelter, without

shelter you would die in three hours. So you can thank all the people in the field of

architecture, that you are reading this now.

Ancient Greek architecture is best known for its temples, if you were to visit you

would find them all over the place. The ruins of many greek temples are surprisingly still

intact. The second most well known are the open air theatres, they have located them to

date back to about 350 BC. Ancient Rome had much similar architecture, then again many

Roman cultural things grew out of Greece. Like greek Gods, myths, and again, their

architecture. But much after Rome, was Europe, Europe wasn’t a lot alike Greece, but they

shared some

    The Musée du Louvre and its Pyramid, and St Paul’s Cathedral with the nearby 30 St Mary Axe were the chosen topics by both members of our group. All of these buildings are iconic building within their cities, and all were designed and built with vastly different contexts and purposes in mind. In this essay we will compare and contrast the different buildings in a manner that will help us understand the juxtaposition of old and new buildings. We will also investigate what made the contemporary buildings in question switch status from controversial to widely accepted as unique and brilliant pieces of architecture. After considering the different context(s) and style(s) of the building we will present our informed personal opinions based upon our research, to reach a conclusion in accordance with the research question. Before we undertake an analysis we will quickly summarise what has been aforementioned in Patchworks 1 & 2.…

    The Greek and Roman Architecture is very much alike, but at the same time they are different in some ways. Wealth and high population densities in the cities had forced the ancient Romans to discover some new architectural solutions of their own. The Roman architecture adopted certain aspects of Greek architecture and created a new type of architectural style.…

    In terms of architecture, both classical Greece and Rome are responsible for almost all advancements made in Western civilization. Ancient Greece’s architectural style can be separated into three defined orders: the Doric Order, the Ionic Order and the Corinthian Order, all which had a profound effect on Western architecture. They are best known for their supreme structures of temples, such as the Second Temple of Hera at Paestum, the Parthenon, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Even more importantly the architects of classical Rome made even more impactful innovations. The Romans were great reformers and they quickly adopted new construction techniques, used new materials, and uniquely combined existing techniques with creative design to produce…

    In rudimentary architecture the human presence can seem subject to the domination of nature. Architecture cannot disengage it self from the natural and human factors, it never do so, it function rather is to bring nature ever close to us. Everything should be on the premise of respect for the natural. And consider…

    Rome also built such many triumphal arches that can be seen throughout Italy (ancient.eu, nd). The most impressive one that we all known is the Pantheon, a huge achievement in architectural design that can be made possible by these wonderful Roman inventions. In normal life, arches were used everywhere in road and passageway construction. Also, large insulae was only made possible when concrete was found, and it, in turn, put the first block on modern apartment models (bbc.com,…

    It is remarkable that The Pantheon even today, nearly two thousand years after it was constructed, is as stable as when it was first built. It is almost beyond understanding that the Romans could build this structure without the benefit of modern machines or tools. Nor did the Pantheon engineers have the advantage of modern transportation methods. All the materials were floated down the Tiber and moved to the site by man and animal on carts of the period.…
