It brings together original scholarship from an esteemed group of archaeologists and art historians. The essays cover both sacred and secular structures and complexes and pay particular attention to architectural decoration, such as sculpture, interior design, floor mosaics, and wall painting. They also investigate the influence and impact of Greek architecture on contemporary cultures and subsequent generations, an important aspect often missing from discussions of ancient architecture. The contributors make use of new research from computer-driven technologies, the study of inscriptions and archaeological evidence, and recently excavated buildings. These sources give readers a more complete understanding of the original appearance of many buildings, as well as the social and religious contexts that inspired construction. As the most up-to-date English-language volume on Greek architecture in several decades, this is an essential resource for those studying ancient art and architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988608172261,"sku":"NP9781119245537","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119245537.jpg?v=1761780954","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/a-companion-to-greek-architecture-isbn-9781119245537","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
