A day in the life of an ancient Greek architect - Mark Robinson
Follow Pheidias, the chief builder for the Parthenon, as he supervises the construction of the new temple and faces charges of embezzlement.
--
The year is 432 BCE. As dawn breaks over Athens, Pheidias is already late for work. He is the chief builder for the Parthenon — Athens’ newest and largest temple— and when he arrives onsite, city officials accuse him of embezzling gold from the temple’s sacred central statue. He has until sundown to prove his innocence or face the courts. Mark Robinson outlines a day in the life of a Greek architect.

The Development of Ancient Greek Architecture
Some of the most exceptional and distinctive buildings from the ancient world were crafted by the architects of ancient Greece and some of their structures like theatres, temples, and stadia became staple buildings in cities and towns from antiquity onwards in the western world. The ancient Greeks are well-known for their incredible Doric and Ionic temples, and none are quite as famous as the Parthenon atop the acropolis of Athens, built under the direction of Perikles and envisioned by the architect Phidias in the fifth century BCE.
The architectural feature of all, or most, of these buildings, and the one most commonly associated with the Greeks, are columns. There are five of what are called orders of classical architecture, and an order is basically a combination of a type of column ...

There are three types: strong and simple (Doric), a bit fancier (Ionic), and fancy with leaves on top (Corinthian).One famous example depicting the use of ...

Some of the most exceptional and distinctive buildings from the ancient world were crafted by the architects of ancient Greece and some of their structures like theatres, temples, and stadia became staple buildings in cities and towns from antiquity onwards in the western world. The ancient Greeks are well-known for their incredible Doric and Ionic temples, and none are quite as famous as the Parthenon atop the acropolis of Athens, built under the direction of Perikles and envisioned by the architect Phidias in the fifth century BCE.
The architectural feature of all, or most, of these buildings, and the one most commonly associated with the Greeks, are columns. There are five of what are called orders of classical architecture, and an order is basically a combination of a type of column either with or without a base and an entablature which is what the column supports, this could be something like a frieze or a beam called architrave. The five classical orders are Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite though it was not the Greeks, but the Romans who gave them these names.

Notre Dame architecture professor Richard Economakis presents a sweeping summary of classical architecture, starting with its origins in the ancient world and progressing through history all the way to the present day. Part I of the series focuses on Ancient Greece.
About the Program:
A Survey of Classical Architecture is a new four-part lecture series charting the development of classical architecture, from its emergence in Ancient Greece and Rome, to its rebirth in the Italian Renaissance, elaboration in the 17th and 18th centuries, and reaffirmation in modern times. The lectures look closely at influential architectural works and the contributions of the treatise writers, from the Roman author Vitruvius to Renaissance architects Alberti, Serlio, Vignola and Palladio. They proceed to an overview of the later treatises by architects Perrault, Chambers and Gibbs, and continue with the works of contemporary theorists Porphyrios, Tzonis and Lefaivre, Westfall, and others. The series concludes with a survey of exemplary classical works from the 20th and 21st centuries.
This first lecture in the series begins with the development of Greek monumental architecture and its translation from wood into stone. It includes nomenclature, formal repertoire, and typology, stressing Greek architecture's columnar (as opposed to mural) approach, and its emphasis on the making of free-standing monumental buildings.
00:31 Greek and Roman Antiquity
08:50 The Greek Doric Type
21:29 The Greek Ionic Type
29:03 The Greek Corinthian Type
33:51 Greek Proportioning Systems
46:17 Greek Interest in Ideality
47:44 Greek Urbanism
About the Speaker:
Richard Economakis is a Professor at the School of Architecture of the University of Notre Dame. He served as Director of Graduate Studies until 2022, when he was appointed Interim Associate Dean of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work. He is also a member of the ICAA's Board of Directors. He received both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell University, and has worked in classical and traditional firms in New York, New Haven, Athens, and London. While in London, he worked as an editor at Academy Editions, where he produced monographs on the works of contemporary classical architects, and the books Building Classical and Acropolis Restoration. This last edited book was the first to fully document the restoration of the Acropolis monuments in Athens since work began in 1975. He is the author of another book, Acropolis, which surveys the history and architecture of the Periclean Monuments. His most recent edited book, Durability in Construction, was selected as the July 2015 ‘Book of the Month’ by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
In the Spring of 2021, Prof. Economakis co-edited the inaugural issue of Notre Dame’s journal ANTA, together with Michael Mesko. Prof. Economakis has led summer programs for Notre Dame in Greece and Britain, and a 2006 ICAA tour of Ancient and Neoclassical Greece. He is currently engaged in research on the origin of the forms of the Doric Order, the preliminary research for which was published in The Classicist No. 12, in 2015. The work builds on ten seasons of experience as site architect in archaeological excavations on the island of Crete, in Greece. As principal of Richard Economakis Architectural Design, he has produced projects in the US, Central America and Europe. Since 2007 he has realized a number of buildings for the award-winning new town of Cayalá in Guatemala, in collaboration with the firm Estudio Urbano of Guatemala City. His design for a Civic Hall at Cayalá received a 2013 Palladio Award. His recent proposal for the construction of Refugee Villages in Greece and the Mediterranean received the Award of Excellence from the International Making Cities Livable organization, in 2016.

Characteristics of Greek Architecture With Examples
Greek architecture is characterized by a sense of balance, harmony, and simplicity. Imagine sturdy columns supporting elegant structures, with a focus on symmetry and proportion - it’s a classic kind of beauty that the Greeks loved.
Let's get to know more about Greek architecture through its various characteristics:
1. Columns
2. Use of marble
3. Aesthetics and Perfection
4. Entablature
5. Peripheral design
1. Columns
In Greek architecture, columns are like the building's backbone, doing the important job of holding everything up while also adding a touch of style to make it look good. There are three types: strong and simple (Doric), a bit fancier (Ionic), and fancy with leaves on top (Corinthian).One famous example depicting the use of columns in greek architecture is the Parthenon in Athens. We can see the Doric style used for these columns. They don't just act as a structural support but is also aesthetically appealing to the eye.
2. Use of Marble
The Greeks loved using marble—a strong and beautiful rock. They used it to make columns, statues, and even the outsides of buildings. It let them create intricate designs, making Greek architecture both sturdy and stunning.The Greeks made a stunning statue of the god Zeus at Olympia using strong and elegant marble. They could create detailed features, because of marble's qualities. This statue shows how skilled the Greeks were in both art and building things.
3. Aesthetics and Perfection
Greek buildings were not just about being useful; they also wanted them to look really good. They used special proportions and designs to make things look balanced and beautiful. Another great example besides the Parthenon is the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens. The columns and the way they arranged everything followed certain rules to make a masterpiece that's not only functional but visually pleasing.
4. Entablature
The entablature is a horizontal structure supported by columns, it consists of an architrave, frieze, and cornice. It is an important feature seen in most Greek temples. These functional and decorative parts make the Greek buildings both strong and appealing to the eye.The entablature of the Parthenon is a key element of its classical design. With the use of sculpted reliefs, depicting mythological narratives, and religious ceremonies the Greeks have achieved both structural and aesthetic excellence.
5. Peripheral design
The Greeks paid attention to balance and symmetry. We can tell this by the peripheral design they followed using columns in most temples. The careful spacing and alignment of columns create a sense of order and elegance. The Temple of Hephaestus in Athens has a peristyle design (surrounded by a row of Doric columns). These columns are evenly spaced, creating a sense of balance and order. This design not only provides structural support but also adds to the overall aesthetic beauty of the temple.
The Greeks were clever in their designs, using special columns and paying close attention to details. This made their buildings not only durable but also incredibly beautiful, and we still admire and learn from them today.
