The course explores aspects of ancient Greek architecture, both public and domestic, in the time horizon extending from 1050 to 31 BC. The planning and organization of ancient Greek public constructions are examined, so that students develop a strong background in the process of ancient building technologies, focusing both on technical issues and materials. Building policies and projects within various political regimes in ancient Greece, such as in tyranny, democracy and monarchy, are further studied and analysed. Moreover, through this course, students investigate the roots, development and symbolisms of the Greek temple and study regional features in the temple architecture of mainland Greece and the islands and of the peripheral areas of the Greek world (e.g. of southern Italy and Sicily). Last but not least, an outline of the domestic architecture and urbanism from Geometric to Hellenistic times provide a useful tool for a better understanding of Greek settlements and societies.
