Document Summary
Flutes were put on columns after they were erected. When columns came in they were never perfectly circular, it was afterwards that they were adjusted and perfected. Roofing was done easily wooden beam put across wood was put across and tiles were put on top/above the beams (post and lintel) stone covered exterior and interior was wood. 400-300 bc greek architecture is about parthenon, temples, theatre, acropolis, colonnades (other things were very simple) they were concerned with externals of buildings (inside these buildings were dim and poorly lit. Inside parthenon there was a statue of athena) outdoor temples there was a sacrifice alter was outside. Also personal religions were on the rise (not really sacrifices to god anymore but a group of missionaries) Romans were concerned with interiors and this was first seen in the pantheon (first major monument composed entirely as an interior) this all began in ad 125.
