5. Differentiate Greek architecture from Roman Architecture

- Greek and Roman architecture have their own differences such as purposes and concept in
structures. Ancient Roman temples were among the most important buildings in Roman
culture. They prefer making it even more decorative and elaborate than the Greeks had.
Greek temples interiors serve as meeting places, since the sacrifices and rituals dedicated to
the respective deity took place outside them. Greeks build their structures for the purpose of
having a political celebrations that can accomodate everyone. As a Civil Engineering student
i like to try to design a roman like architectures because of their sophisticated designs that
can inspire people.
