SINGH INTRODUCTION : INTRODUCTION Parthenon , the large temple of Athena is the most important building of acropolis Started in 447 BC completed in 436 BC Architects : Ictinus & Callicrates Phidias was the master sculptor Slide 3: ACROPOLIS PARTHENON PLAN FORM : The temple stands on the conventional three steps the top step being 30.9m x 69.5m The cella consist of two room end to end with hexastyle prostyle porches. The eastern room being 29.8m long and 19.2m wide , with Doric colonnades in two tiers , structurally necessary to support the timber roof. PLAN FORM W E Slide 5: Inside the colonnades , towards the end ,there stood the gold & ivory statue of Athena Parthenos ,the work of Phidias ,representing the Athena fully armed with spear , helmet & shield , accompanied by a snake & holding in her right arm a statue of victory. The ceiling was of wood with painted & gilded decoration. To the west with its own porch , is a square chamber , the PARTHENON or the VIRGIN LADY, a depository for valuable offerings . Here the roof is supported by four ionic columns placed in a rectangle 4.7 x 7 m. Slide 6: ELEVATION Slide 7: Ionic column Statue of Athena SECTION THE DORIC COLUMNS : Doric columns measures 1.9m in diameter and 10.4m in height (approx. 5.5 times the diameter) THE DORIC COLUMNS Slide 9: The Parthenon is the best example in Greek temple architecture of the practice of optical refinement. To the unaided eye, columns tend to look narrower in the middle than at the top or bottom. Each of the columns in the Parthenon was built with a slight bulge in the middle, to make them appear" straight”. Furthermore, the spacing between the columns appear smaller towards the centre. Therefore, they were spaced wider apart accordingly. OPTICAL REFINEMENT Slide 10: After optical refinement Before optical refinement Showing corrections Slide 12: 2.2 km. & 5 km. USE OF GOLDEN SECTION : USE OF GOLDEN SECTION Some analysis say that golden section was one of the guiding factor for the Greek architects to achieve proportion in their edifices. But there is no such exact proof for the above ROOF : Greek temples typically covered the wooden roof rafters with fired clay tiles. In contrast, the roof of the Parthenon was covered with light weight, thinly-sliced (only 3 centimeters thick), nearly translucent marble tiles. Along the roof-line, Parthenon builders removed the appearance of 'fussiness' and clutter by positioning decorative antefixes (roof-line ornaments) between alternate rows of roof tiles, rather than the traditional placement at the end of each row of tiles.
