Discussion Post: Influences of Ancient Architecture
You will read about architecture. The lesson includes information on Roman architecture, which was greatly influenced by the Greeks and Etruscans.
Locate at least two architectural works that were influenced by Greco-Roman architecture. These can be from any time period after the Greco-Roman period but should be from different periods themselves (e.g., one from Renaissance and one from Baroque). Then address the following:
a) What is the function of each structure?
b) How does each work exhibit influence of the Greco-Roman period? Is the influence specifically Greek, Etruscan, or Roman - or a combination?
c) How would you compare the two selected works? Take the role of the evaluative critic.
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
