 * The Partheron **



The Parthenon is a temple in the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order.

Columns in Greek temples are evenly spaced in rows called colonnades. Repetitive use of columns in a recognizable pattern gives the feeling of continuity and fluidity. The space between columns, called intercolumniation, helps convey a sense of rhythm and dinamismo. Rhythm is essentially linear.

Through their logical design and harmonious proportion, Greek temples, represented something of the ideal which was thought to be innate in the natural World.
