Art that We Dream
Ionic Order:
Erechtheum - sanctuary from the center traditional time of Greek workmanship and building design, based on the Acropolis of Athens somewhere around 421 and 405bc.
The Erechtheum contained asylums to Athena Polias, Poseidon, and Erechtheus. The prerequisites of the few places of worship and the area upon a slanting site delivered an abnormal arrangement. From the assemblage of the building porticoes extend on east, north, and south sides. The eastern colonnade, hexastyle Ionic, offered access to the place of worship of Athena, which was divided by a parcel from the western cella. The northern patio, tetrastyle Ionic, remains at a lower level and offers access to the western cella through a fine entryway. The southern colonnade, known as the Porch of the Caryatids (see caryatid) from the six formed hung female assumes that backing its entablature, is the sanctuary's most striking gimmick; it structures a display or tribune. The west end of the building, with windows and captivated Ionic sections, is an adjustment of the first, manufactured by the Romans when they restored the building. One of the east segments and one of the caryatids were evacuated to London by Lord Elgin, reproductions being introduced in their spots.
