Question

30 POINTS PLZ HELP_What were the defining characteristics of Greek architecture?

Answer 1

Greek architecture is best known from its temples, many of which are found throughout the region, mostly as ruins but many substantially intact.
Greek architecture of the most formal type, for temples and other public buildings, is divided stylistically into three "orders", first described by the Roman architectural writer Vitruvius. These are: the Doric Order, the Ionic Order and the Corinthian Order.
While the three orders are most easily recognizable by their capitals, the orders also governed the form, proportions, details and relationships of the columns, entablature, pediment and the stylobate. The different orders were applied to the whole range of buildings and monuments.

If you need more on the orders just message me or you can look it up.
