Week 3 Discussion: Influences of Ancient Architecture
Hello Doc and Class,
Roman architecture refers to the forms of buildings and structures that drew their
designs from the Greeks. The design was majorly differentiated from the external,
whereby it consisted of a post and lintel system. The system made the buildings
impressive from the outside. For my assignment, I chose the Palace of Versailles and
the Field Museum.
Jacobus and Martin (2019) states that traditionally, the architects erected their
structures in a way that the building would foretell their functions. The Palace of
Versailles served as the home to royalty of France from 1682 to 1789. Louis XVI left the
premises for Paris during the French revolution in 1789 (History, 2020). In 1837, King
Louis-Phillipe turned the palace into a museum. Louis XIV initially turned the building
into a royal residence from the hunting lodge that it was serving. However, during the
French revolution, the building was vandalized, and properties were stolen. The palace
would later be restored to its original appearance during the Ancient Regime in the
1950s.
The field museum was built to serve the purpose of displaying the collections of natural
wonders and other cultural artifacts, which initially had been displayed in the 1893
World's Colombian Exposition, as indicated by Field Museum (2021). the museum grew
faster, thereby developing the current building that was opened in 1921. Currently, the
collection of artifacts and specimen stands at 40 million since it first opened doors in
1894, according to Field Museum (2021).
The field museum drew its structural inspiration from the Erechtheum temple, which was
an ancient Greek temple in Athens. They applied the Greek Ionic style for the columns
together with arches and dome-style on the internal and external of the structure, the
neoclassical approach (Field Museum, 2021). The architects of the Palace of Versailles
drew their inspiration from the French Baroque style, which applied the classical
approach (History, 2020). The classical approach displayed the Greek and Roman
influence. The use of arches and columns shows more details in the design and
promotes the classical approach's prowess.
When examining and comparing the two structures, they both show a sense of history
within and around the buildings. The buildings were erected at distinct periods; however,
they are exceptional yet comparable types of architecture. The similarity is best
exhibited in the use of columns and arches. The period and the functions may be the
prevalent differences between the two structures. Whereas the two structures compare
and contrast in different aspects, their structures were drawn from Greco-Roman
architecture, which influenced their different styles.
