Architecture

• Since the Greece life was dominated by religion
  they made their temples big and beautiful.
• They had three column orders called the Doric,
  the Lonic, and the Corinthian.
• The common materials they used were wood for the
  roof, unbaked bricks for walls, limestone or
  marble for columns, and tiles for ornaments.

Doric order

• Examples of the Doric order are Parthenon the
  temple for the goddess of wisdom.

4
Lonic order

• Some examples of the Lonic order are the temple
  of Apollo at Didyma/Turkey.
• The temple of Athena Nike was also the Lonic
  order.

5
Corinthian order

• The Corinthian order was the latest order.
• The oldest example of the Corinthian order was
  the temple of Apollo at Bassae.
• They made little use of this order.
