ARCHITECTONIC IDEAS

New Order  Time after time Greece start to lost its power and after that they found new style: Synoecism. Its related with Aristotles' early greek urbanization. While in these times Polis meaning start to improve in Europe, fate of the Greece affect this situation negatively. War between Athens and Sparta shape meaning of police in that way. When people did not find any job for them, they become a member of army and it create colonization. In architecture there are some applications which are related with observations in abstractial way. Hinge between Hellenistic and Classical periods is important thing in there. On the other hand politics and wars did not always totally create form but they affect form. The case of Bassae Temple of Apollo become important structure in this topic. Its create with great gray limstone and details calculate very carefully. There is different orientation of north and south. When Iktınos made this, he thinks that temples should look at north...

War between Greeks and Persians affect Greek Architecture directly. Quality of temples increased and they become more neat. (Pediment and metope are good examples for this topic.) For instance, Temple of Zeus damaged because of war and it started to restorate. After war, Greeks start to regeneration work in architecture and they did it in short time.They built 3 temples and 1 gateway which are become key element for Greece. While it was built, responsible of these buildings decide that city should give powerful message to other civilizations and they decide in that way. And in this times, Athens is most popular and crowded city for Greece. It affect this situation directly. There are some long walls, well-developed harbors and these kind of structures in it. So the message is succesful in that manner. SHAPE OF POLIS House of Greece is similar with mesopotamian house. It surrounded by court and houses turned inward. Also these courts have cistern and altar. Function of rooms are ...

In previous semester we created our instance model. And it has more abstract qualities. If I summarize about real instance model, its aim is related with creating enclosure spaces. But now the aim is changed. Aim of this assignment is experiencing human movement and human scale. Every member of studio uses his/her body length and width to experience their instance model with using scales. For instance (again i use instance lol) I choose 1/50 as a scale. Also we need to ensure human movement in this assignment. So, I add and take out some piece of models. End of the assignment it look like this :  

In greeks classical works we again encunter Myceneans' trace. And they built a lot of independence citadels and these kind of things. In literature Homer mention about this situation because Myceneans has overseas power in these times. Myceneans have also their own tradition and when they use form they give a name it and they use it in almost every buildings. They have both trade and militay power. And Myceneans reach this power thanks to location of Crete. Crete is the biggest aegean land and level of culture is really high in there. Myceneans has some difference when we compare with Greeks. Their land is important because of its location as we said. Because it provides trade route between Greece, Egypt and Mesopotamia. ASIA MINOR  Asia minor is actually our land and Today it called as Anatolia. And Anatolia is house of some communities like Çatalhöyük. And building principles are still valid in todays especially earthquake areas. European people spread whole of the Anatolia...

Egypts has some differences but they have still connection with Mesopotamian communities. For instance in Mesopotamia, settlement life start with agriculture and husbandry. This situation is also appropriate for Egypt which surrounding of Nile River. They use Nile as both trade and protect other little settlements. And Egypt has two sides which are UPPER EGYPT and LOWER EGYPT. While lower Egypt involves whole of the delta and end in Memphis, Upper Egypt is remaining area till aswana.  We can see state logic in there and their capital is different. ( Upper Egypts capital is Nekhen and Lower Egypts capital is Pe) Important architecture life of Egypt starts with Kral Menes' conquer plan about North. This invasion has deep effect on community and it affect policy and architecture directly. Actually they have knowledge about architectural materials in this era and they use this informations in important buildings. In early dynastic era, inscriptions are kind of light for building temp...
