The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece,

dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered

their patroness. Construction started in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire
was at the peak of its power

LET'S ANALYZE THE PARTHENON ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF

THEORY:

( EXPLAIN CHARACTERISTICS BASED ON FORMS AND OTHER DETAILS)

1 SYMMETRY - The symmetry of the structure of Parthenon is perfectly

aligned and balanced pillars having the numbers of columns, for the outer
column there’s 43 while in the inner column 43.

2 HIERARCHY There are various design that can be seen in the exterior of
Parthenon which amaze the tourist or the viewers.One thing that it made
looks so unique are the roofing and sculpture above which is maybe the
sculpture is about the people in that era.

3 RHYTHM - The tone of the structure fits the concept of the Parthenon
which made it makes it more pleasant and attractive using minimal color
and highlights.The sizes of different structures that was included gives more
impact to emphasize especially the pillars and roof.
4 REPETITION - Repetition can be seen to the flutes or the pillars of the
Parthenon Structure, also the boxes above the pillars has repetition also by
its shape and pattern.

5 TRANSFORMATION - if we can differentiate the old Parthenon and the

Parthenon now is that there are some changes for example how they
restore the pillars and re-cement the old one to be more stronger and the
old Parthenon were not able to be fully constructed but as time passes by it
became one of world’s known structure because of its uniqueness and
concept form .
