WheelsRCool Report post Posted January 20, 2010 So I was reading a book on architecture and learned two really interesting things I didn't know that I thought I would share: 1) Greek buildings were originally not the grayish white that they currently are, and that we color our public buildings modeled on the Greek buildings after, they were actually brightly-colored in reds, blues, and golds and would have been considered over-the-top to our eyes today. 2) There is no true straight line in the Parthenon. It employs a technique called entasis to ever so slightly deform the columns and architraves on the building which causes the eye to see straight lines where otherwise there would appear to be a curve or sag.

thecyrax Report post Posted January 23, 2010 I find architecture incredibly fascinating. I agree with the guy who said it is like frozen music. I knew the 1st one, but the parthenon thing sounds very interesting. Any pictures showing how the columns look "in line"?
