Architecture Style : Neoclassical architecture

 

Neoclassical architecture

Neoclassical architecture one of easiest recognizable architecture style mostly known by high collums , majestic scale , basic design and similarities to which is also got  inspiration from ancient Greek and  roman architecture .In Europe and United States 18^th and 19^th centuries buildings influenced by this architecture style.   

In this style of architecture mostly  can recognizable as theirs lack of ornamentations especially  focusses on flatness and basic than  excessive decoration and the tall lonic ,doric and Corinthian type of columns . In addition roofing of the structures are notable , including circular shape , interior rotundas provide upward perspective and shows the buildings height .

 In this style of architecture so I wanted to show and remind old Roman Empire history of the city because the project of mine in one of the city has a history of it .Which is Ephesus:

 Archaeological excavations in İzmir, which was a well-known "Port City" of the Euro-Asian "Silk Road" that offered a trade portal to the Mediterranean during the Classical Era as well, continues at the center of the city, with a population of 4.5 million, under the support of the community, the local and central authorities, and the chambers of industry - commerce. The artifacts unearthed in the excavations provide rich findings on how the city was founded as a port and how it operated. With its 4-storeyed structure including the basement and civil Basilica that is home to a rich wall engravings (graffiti) collection, the Smyrna Agora counts as one of the most important archeological sites in the world.

Construction began in 117 CE and continued to 135 CE.

the site is rich in archaeological finds such as the collection of Roman milestones and the three ancient Greek columns standing side by side representing the Ionic, Corinthian and Doric orders of classical architecture.
