Greek design


When Greece was conquered by Rome and absorbed into the Roman Empire, the Romans procured many of the engineers and architects of that society. As a result, much of the architecture of Greece was incorporated in Roman constructs. When the Roman Empire fell, this type of architecture was abandoned and became and almost lost art. Then, during the age of the Renaissance, interest in this architecture was re-invigorated as many classical thinkers started to study the ancient world. The result of this was a re-introduction of Roman and Greek classical architecture into the western world. While this type of architecture has achieved varying degrees of popularity over the years, it is definitely highly popular today.are many different facets and designs to this type of architecture. So, it would not be correct to assume that all forms of classical architecture would look the same. However, it would be correct to assume that this type of architecture is more appropriate for grand scale projects and homes. It is a rather involved and specialized architectural design and not one that could be produced on a budget. For those that can afford such an architectural construct, the price is well worth it. After all, it does look truly amazing.
