This week 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:
- What is the function of each structure?
- How does each work exhibit influence of the Greco-Roman period? Is the influence specifically Greek, Etruscan, or Roman – or a combination?
- How would you compare the two selected works? Take the role of the evaluative critic.
Use examples from the text, the lesson, and the library to help support your answer. Please remember to provide images and citations to help illustrate your points.
his week we will study classical architecture. Read chapter 6 about Ancient Roman architecture and the influence of Greek architecture.

Discussion Week 3. Make one original post and one reply post by Sunday. Post on two separate days. Include a citation for Martin & Jacobus, plus one outside reference. Use APA style citations.
Choose two modern buildings that illustrate the influence of classical architecture. Renaissance and neoclassical buildings revive the forms of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The Federal period style used in designing the nation's capital at Washington, DC in America is inspired by classical architecture. The neoclassical style of the 18th century is directly inspired by Ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Museums, libraries, public buildings and banks often reference the neoclassical style. CHOOSE TWO MODERN BUILDINGS C.1400CE ONWARDS ONLY, NOT ANCIENT BUILDINGS. EXPLAIN HOW THE MODERN BUILDINGS ILLUSTRATE THE INFLUENCE OF ANCIENT CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE. Apply correct architectural terms. See https://www.classicist.org/workspace/pdf/Identification-and-Glossary-of-Terms.pdf (Links to an external site.)
Discuss the influences you perceive. Cite your Martin and Jacobus textbook, and one outside source.
