Arch ztectu re Arch1tecture down through the years has been the problem of construct- zng buxldzngs and memorlals for Gods lungs and emperors and for the clergy It was not untzl the last one hundred and frfty or so years has the shelter of the ordmary man been of any lmportance Pract1ca1ly every country boy has, at some tune or other, bullt a slmple lean to or hut supported by a couple of sticks That IS the way archltecture began Th1s hut bulldlng gradually developed 1nto a small, square house The house cont1nued to mcrease ln sxze and the Idea was always to produce a higher roof that would provxde more floor space The Greeks were among the greatest of the early bu1lders Thelr flrst buxldmgs were made of wood, but when they ran out of wood as bulldmg materlal, they were forced to buxld houses of stone or brlck In domg thls they were unable to put any wmdows 1n and the only llght came ln the door Because of thls the door was enlarged to support the roof over the door, a couple of p1llars were added, malung a sort of formal entrance Gradually the number of plllars mcreased and they appeared both ln the front and rear and fma.l1y pzllars were bu11t all the way around but stlll the only lzght entered through the door All the Greek temples were constructed 1n thls form, the most famous of whlch was the Parthenon A slmzlar structure IS the L1ncoln Memorlal, a rectangular bulldmg wlth a flat roof The Romans borrowed the plllar from the Greeks but they dxdn t need extra support for thelr roof, so they used the plllars as an ornament and also made them much more elabor ate The prllar has cont1nued to be used ornamentally r1ght up to the pre sent day and we don t have to go any farther than our own school bulldlngs to fmd p1llars used 1n th1s manner Smce the Romans dldn t use pzllars ID a functzonal manner you may wonder what they dld use to support the roofs of thelr bu1ld1ngs They had learned the art of bmldmg the arch and the dome When they used the arch as a roof, we have what IS known as the vault Thls made It posslble for them to bu1ld taller bulldmgs wlth more floor space smce wlth the use of the dome and vault they could span a larger area The Pantheon, possesses most of the characterlstxcs of Roman archltecture such as the dome and the decoratzve pxllars The Romans produced the cyllndrlcal vault, whlch IS an extended seml clrcular arch and thls was developed durmg the Byzan txne perlod rn the gromed vault, whlch IS formed by two cyhndrlcal vaults mtersectlng at rxght angles Archltects had always attempted to bulld larger and taller bulldmgs, but they now had trouble domg that and st1ll malung them safe because the domes were becomxng too heavy for the walls to support The Gothic style brought a tremendous developement 1n architecture The engmeers dur1ng thls perlod, for the f1rst t1me slnce Rome had become a world power, dared to change the arclntectural style They bulld the pomt ed arch and the r1bbed vault, whlch IS the pomted arch zntersectmg at r1ght angles, and the splre or steeple whlch made buildings taller than they had ever been before The use of the rxbbed vault made rt posslble for them to ll I a , - . - . 1 .' .
