The Greek styles of columns - Ionian, Doric, Corinthian.
This is word for word, the first question on one of my Social Studies homework papers. Anyway, the Greeks were concerned with accurate history and ancient story telling.
Athena is the Greek Goddess of Architecture, as well as knowledge. There was grand buildings that still stand today made in her honor. Hope this helps in any way! :)
One thing is that many buildings use ideas from Greek architecture.
Greek architecture has effected modern architecture in many, many ways. They have given us columns. For example, look at the Alberta legislative buildings, It has corinthian columns.
Both Greek and Roman architecture have large buildings and columns but probably more-so Greek
Greek architecture is still used in many buildings. The pillars, especially, are something that many people love because they are imposing and elegant.

Both ancient Greek architecture and modern architecture emphasize the use of columns for structural support. Both styles also prioritize creating harmony and balance in design, often incorporating elements of symmetry and proportion. Additionally, both ancient Greek and modern architecture place importance on creating buildings that are functional and serve a specific purpose.
Together with the rest of the Greek world, it passed on architecture, art, the arts, language which have influenced modern society.
Greek architecture influenced local architecture in a few ways. This is because the Greeks started to use arches and a different way of building.
Greek architecture has influenced Western Civilization throughout the centuries, continuing long after the demise of Greece in ancient times. As a basic model of sorts for buildings of importance among more modern Western nations, Greek architectural features have been an ongoing inspiration and influence. The simple use of columns, capped and crowned in diversely Greek ways, has traditionally been used for private residences and minor public buildings in American society, among others.
Generally its the older commercial building that have the Roman or Greek architecture. These could be banks, board of trade buildings, or any building that has to do with commerce or finances. (The modern buildings tend to be steel and glass). Roman touches can be seen in the atria of office buildings, waiting rooms or reception areas.
The question of how architecture of such antiquity has influenced modern architecture is more one of evolution than direct influence, although in parts of the middle east a more direct influence can be seen in the modern buildings of today, with a distinct regional style that one would not see in the west, normally. Essentially architecture, like all art and technology, has evolved over the centuries: Egyptian architecture influenced Greek; Greek influenced Roman; Roman produced the basis of classical architecture which still forms the basis of proportion and scale still seen in much of architecture today. However, there are very many other influences, including less formal styles of architecture, in particular regional 'vernacular' characteristics. These are seen more in less 'designed' buildings, but have also crept into formalised architecture since the Victorian period, most particularly in the Arts and Crafts movement - Lutyens, Morris et al. It is also important to note that true modernist architecture - that seen since the early 20th century, doesn't conform to many of the accepted architectural rules of proportion and rhythm which resulted from classical architecture. I am not an Architect, so perhaps a proper Architect out there can add to this, and/or correct if I'm wrong in anyway.
Yes, Greek influences can be seen today in various aspects such as architecture, literature, philosophy, and language. Many modern buildings, especially government and educational institutions, are influenced by Greek architecture. Greek mythology and epic poems continue to inspire literature, and many philosophical ideas originated from ancient Greek thinkers are still relevant today. Additionally, numerous English words have Greek origins, showcasing the lasting impact of the Greek language.
