What is Roman architecture and its influences on modern architecture?
Concrete, the arch and the vault revolutionised ancient architecture. Historians call this the Roman (or concrete architectural revolution). The barrel (simple) arch has a great load bearing capacity and the vault is suited to building large roofs. The vaulted arch or vault consists of two to four intersecting arches. Some forms of concrete were known before the Romans, but they were hardly ever used. The Romans were the first to make large scale use of concrete. They were also the first to make large scale use of the ach and the vault. Concrete was a revolutionary material. It had technical and practical advantages over the Greek methods of enclosing space by the use of cut-stone and post-and-beam structures. It was exceptionally strong and hardened into a rigid mass quickly, free from many of the internal thrusts and strains that troubled the builders of similar structures in stone or brick. It could be moulded. By layering it into a formwork it took the shape of its container. It was laid in the shape of arches, vaults and domes. It could span great distances when moulded into these shapes. it was r. Building in concrete was much quicker and cheaper than building laborious masonry walls and in addition to this did not require skilled workers, which also brought costs down. It was safer because concrete-vaulted roofing was fireproof, unlike the wooden-beamed roofs of traditional construction methods.. Roman concrete was as strong but different than modern concrete. It was less fluid and had to be layered by hand. It also set underwater. Concrete, the arch and the vault became essential for large roofs and large buildings, such as basilicas (public buildings) amphitheatres (arenas), theatres, baths, circuses (racing tracks) domes, forts and fortifications and dams. They also made it possible to build bridges which were much longer than before and could cross much wider rivers and valleys. They also led to the construction of the famous bridgeworks of Roman aqueducts. Concrete also enabled the Romans to be the first to build large and monumental domes. The best example of this is the dome of the rotunda of the Pantheon in Rome (a temple dedicated to all gods which is well preserved because it was converted into a Christian church). It is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. Although knowledge of how to make Roman concrete was lost, the arch and the vault remained important to build large buildings. The Christian churches in western Europe were modelled on the Roman basilicas (public buildings). they were built in the same way with the addition of a transept to make the shape of a cross. During the Renaissance and with the rediscovery of a textbook on Roman architecture by Vitruvius, building in the Roman style became fashionable. This continued through Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassical (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today) architecture. Palladian architecture (initiated by the Italian architect Andrea Palladio)was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century. Buildings which have columns and/or arches and domes are styled on those of the omans.
