    Typically, Roman houses followed the atrium-peristyle method, built symmetrically and rooms facing inwards to the atrium in the centre of the structure. The outside of the domus (house) was known as the fauces, and immediately upon entering was the vestibulum. This was known as an entrance lobby, varying in elaboration depending on the status of the owner. Generally, the vestibulum led to the atrium, a spacious area often centred in the home. Indented in the middle of the atrium lay the impluvium, used for water collection, and above it a square or rectangular hole in the ceiling, sometimes caged, used for lighting. Adjacent to the atrium was the elegantly decorated tablinum, a space suspected to serve to impress clients of the patron-client relationship and as an expression of status. Alternatively, the triclinium has been suggested to be a dining room as it is often situated close to the kitchens. Most homes included a peristyle; a colonnaded portico overlooking a garden serving as a light source and to disperse air around the building. Finally, the pervasiveness of private worship translated to most houses…

    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 from 27 B.C. to 14 A.D. 1,2 Born Gaius Octavious, known as Octavian in his early years rose to become the first emperor of Rome after ending the second triumvirate through defeating Antony and Lepidus.3 When Octavian returned to Rome, he was honoured by the Senate and the Roman citizens for bringing peace and prosperity to a war-weary Roman world.4 He was then granted the name “Augustus” which is an important symbolic act to legitimize his political control as an emperor over Rome.5 Augustus’ main intention is to establish a stable Rome under his authority and this is largely shown through his restoration of incomplete buildings by Caesar. During his reign, as stated in his bibliography, Res Gestae, he claimed that he “repaired eighty and two temples of the gods in the city, … omitting none which at that time needed repair”.6 However, he also erected four new temples during his reign and these temples largely convey the message of him wanting to show that he was a dependable and better ruler.7 Stamper argues that the building of temples in Rome by various rulers form a large connection of showing power and authority over the city.8 Thus, based on this intention of Augustus, this essay will analyse three different temples completed…

    Contrasting the outside with the inside we can say that the inside takes a more Roman swing and portrays itself as less idealised than the classical greek architecture of the exterior. The exterior is a lost more basic and unadorned with that much detail contrasted with the inside, inside we see an embellishment of decorations including a dome using the so called honeycombing effect also called coffers which allows the building to appear larger than it actually is. The eight niches to the side indicate where the statues would have gone but have since been lost to history. The marble floors contributing to this idea of simple geometry as they are inlaid with coloured granite making circles and rectangles however sadly much of the original marble and bronze which would have been on the originally has been removed particularly due to Pope Urban VII's who ordered the bronze to be melted to help with…

    The Parthenon in Greece is one of the best examples of Greek Classicism. Built on the Athenian Acropolis, this temple was dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, skill, and strength. The precision and symmetry of the Parthenon has been called the culmination of the Doric order and is largely considered one of the world 's greatest cultural monuments. The Parthenon was completed in 438 BC and is one of the most elegant (and ancient) examples of post-and-lintel creations (Sporre, 2010). The Parthenon is also a peripteral temple, in which columns surround the interior room (Sporre, 2010). The composition of the temple beautifully typifies the classical style and the Doric character; it achieves harmony through its clean simplistic configuration. The Doric order is best recognized by the capitols that rest the lintels of a classical column.…
