Failing to follow StudypoolIts architectural plan consists of mathematical ratios, symmetry, and proportion.

Explanation:

  Parthenon is the name of a temple, built in the 5th century BC in Acropolis, a mountain located in the center of Athens, whose structure, despite the weather, conflicts and pollution, is still preserved. The word Parthenon means "the virgin's room," and the purpose of such a building was to pay tribute to the goddess Athena.

   The Parthenon is considered a work of great purity and perfection. The beautiful proportions of the structure derive from the ratio 9: 4, a mathematical ideal that encapsulates the relations of length to width and the space between the columns, based on their diameters. Built at the time when Athens (the foremost of the Greek polis) was experiencing its most prominent moment, the Parthenon image is often used as the definitive symbol of classical Greek culture, the basis of all modern Western society.
