virtual assignment #11

This is a photo of the ancient Greek Agora.  It is a fine example of classic architecture.  It exhibits the large white columns that extend all of the ways up to the top of the triangular roof.  Inside of the triangle at the front of the roof, there is a carving depicting a scene.  At the top of the columns, there is another carving typically showing foliage and holding up the roof.



Another example of Classical architecture is the US capital.  It shows any of the same characteristics as the Agora.  One of these is the columns that go all of the ways from the ground to the roof to hold it up.  Then at the top of these columns, there are scrolls, and carvings.  there is also a long triangular. roof holding an inscription.  Another characteristic of this type of architecture is the long flights of stairs that lead up to the building that is raised up.
