The Greek and Roman engineering is extremely noteworthy for their time as well as presently today. The Greek engineering utilizes the segments in practically the entirety of their sanctuaries. The states of the sections were critical to the Greeks. They utilized three distinct sorts of sections. The â€Å"Doric†, â€Å"Ionic†, and the â€Å"Corinthian†.All of these segments have a focal point that would be for showing their Greek God(s) with what ever designs. The Temple of Olympian Zeus is a case of â€Å"Corinthian† segments. The Temple of Poseidon is a case of â€Å"Doric† sections, and Athens is a case of â€Å"Ionic† segments. The Greeks generally worked with either mud, wood, mortar, and additionally s tone. The vast majority of their structures have not stood the trial of time. Just sanctuaries made with marble or limestone these were worked as objects of craftsmanship regarding their various divine beings. These have had the option to withstand the harm that time brings.The Roman design utilized generally curves in their works. Which held more weight than the segments. Truly they utilized sections however just as design on account of the weight. The Pantheon in Rome is an extraordinary case of this engineering. This structure housed two lords and is one of the greatest enduring structure in Rome. Romans utilized indistinguishable materials from the Greeks particularly the Marble and Limestone. Be that as it may, they culminated the utilization of solid, which is the thing that the greater part of their structures are made with. A large portion of the Romans structures that are as yet protected today are amphitheaters, bathhouses, water systems, and open lodging. Not at all like the Greeks theRomans did their structures with bunches of lavish on both inside and outside mirroring the â€Å"Pursuit of Pleasure† which is a basic piece of the Roman culture. In synopsis, Greek engineering is increasingly rectilinear and of â€Å"post and lintel† development. Greek structures normally rectilinear, comprised off pediment upheld by sections on a plinth for a base. Romans aced the curve and the arch. Concrete made it conceivable to have increasingly complex structures. Segments were utilized in both with the Greek preferring the Doric and Ionic for the cleaner lines. While the Romans liked to utilize the more resplendent Corinthian style segments.
