| Summary |
"Emphasizing harmony, proportion, balance, and simplicity, the buildings of the Greek and Roman empires have had a strong and abiding influence on generations of architects. This program classifies the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian styles of Greece, with their columns and entablatures, and the Tuscan and Composite styles of Rome, which augmented the Greek trabeated forms with vaults, arches, and domes. A variety of examples are drawn not only from the ancient world, but from the Renaissance and the neo-Classical period as well. A BBC Production. " -- Publisher's Web site. |
