Roman design

one looks at architecture that is inspired by ancient Greece or Rome, a sense of awe can be overwhelming. This is because the look and design of such architecture invokes a feeling of grandeur. After all, the columns that would be replicated are derived from many famous building from antiquity. Often, variants on the design of the ancient Roman senate building are duplicated to create the look of a home. Such a look provides a tremendous visual impact and that is exactly what one would hope for when procuring such an architectural 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.
