Description

Greek Architecture is a clearly structured discussion of all the major buildings constructed by the Greeks, from houses to temples, theatres to council buildings. The book describes particular architectural styles and features and sets the buildings in their context, with an evaluation of their purpose, siting and planning. From prehistoric settlements of Troy, the Minoan palaces of Crete and their counterparts in the Mycenean kingdoms, to the absorption of Hellenism into the Roman Empire, the book pays particular attention to the early period, supplying a large-scale account of the development of pre-Hellenic building. It goes on to trace the evolution of temples and other religious buildings, the history of town planning and civic building, the development of the theatre and techniques in masonry, vaulting and fortification. With over forty illustrations enhancing the text, the book provides an informed and comprehensive view of the design and function of buildings in ancient Greece.
