Architecture of buildings and structures presentation. Architectural styles presentation of a lesson for an interactive whiteboard in English (grade 11) on the topic. Architecture and architects

As is known, architecture, along with the quality and manufacture of tools, painting and plastic arts, is the oldest of human skills. It is believed that the beginnings of architecture as an art arose during the period of primitive society. It was during the Neolithic era that man began to build the first dwellings using natural materials. As a field of art, architecture took shape in the cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt, and as an original art, it took shape by the 5th century. BC in ancient Greece.


Until the middle of the 12th century, being in synthesis with painting, sculpture, decorative arts and occupying a dominant position among them, architecture determined the style, and its development proceeded from the “style of the era”, uniform for all types of art and for all its time, aesthetically subjugating science, worldview, philosophy, life and much more, to great styles and, finally, individual author's styles. The “style of the era” (Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance) arises mainly in those historical periods when the perception of works of art is characterized by comparative inflexibility, when it still easily adapts to changes in style.


The great styles - Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, classicism, empire (a variation of late classicism) - are usually recognized as equal and equivalent. In fact, great styles cover sometimes a larger or sometimes smaller area of ​​culture, sometimes they are limited to individual arts, sometimes they subjugate all the arts or even all the main aspects of culture - they are reflected in science, theology, and everyday life. They can be determined either by a wider or less broad social environment, or by a more significant or less significant ideology. At the same time, none of the great styles completely determined the cultural face of the era and country.


The development of styles is asymmetrical, which is externally expressed in the fact that each style gradually changes from simple to complex, but from complex to simple it returns only as a result of some leap. Therefore, style changes occur in different ways: slowly - from simple to complex and abruptly - from complex to simple. The Romanesque style was replaced by the Gothic for more than a hundred years - from the middle of the 12th century. until the middle of the 13th century. The simple forms of Romanesque architecture gradually transform into a complex Gothic style. The Romanesque and Gothic styles are closely related in their development, and the most creative period in the development of these styles is the first. It was in the Romanesque period that technical inventions were created and the connection with philosophy and theology was clear, i.e. ideological basis of style. Gothic is much less ideologically defined. Her aspiration upward can express the religiosity of Catholicism and heresies. Romanesque style Gothic style


Within the Gothic, the Renaissance then matures. Elements of the liberation of the individual, so far within the limits of religion, are already evident in Gothic, especially late. And, nevertheless, Gothic and Revival are sharply different styles. What matured in Gothic then required a sharp change in the entire system of style. New content exploded the old form and brought to life a new style - Renaissance (or revival). Renaissance With the emergence of the Renaissance, a period of ideological quest begins again, the emergence of an integral system of worldview. And at the same time, the process of gradual complication and disintegration of the simple begins again. The Renaissance becomes more complex, and behind it is the Baroque. Baroque, in turn, becoming more complex, turns into rococo in some types of art (architecture, painting, applied art, literature). Then again there is a return to the simple and, as a result of the leap, classicism comes to replace Baroque, the development of which in some countries was completed by the Empire style. baroquecorocococlassicismampire


ROMAN STYLE The word comes from the Latin romanus - Roman. The British call this style "Norman". R.S. developed in Western European art of the 10th-11th centuries. He expressed himself most fully in architecture. Romanesque buildings are characterized by a combination of a clear architectural silhouette and laconic exterior decoration. The building always carefully blended into the surrounding nature and therefore looked especially strong and solid. This was facilitated by massive smooth walls with narrow window openings and stepped-recessed portals. The main buildings during this period were the temple-fortress and the castle-fortress. The main element of the composition of the choice, monastery or castle, becomes the tower - the donjon. Around it were located the rest of the buildings, composed of simple geometric shapes - cubes, prisms, cylinders. The main distinctive element of the building's roof is the semicircular arch



GOTHIC From the Italian gotico - Gothic, barbaric. Style in Western European art of the 12th-15th centuries, which completed its development in the medieval period. The term was introduced by Renaissance humanists who wanted to emphasize the “barbaric” character of all medieval art; in reality, the Gothic style had nothing in common with the Goths and represented a natural development and modification of the principles of Romanesque art. Like Romanesque art, Gothic art was under the strong influence of the church and was called upon to embody church dogma in symbolic and allegorical images. But Gothic art developed under new conditions, the main one of which was the strengthening of cities. Therefore, the leading type of Gothic architecture became the city cathedral, directed upward, with pointed arches, with walls turned into stone lace / which was made possible thanks to a system of flying buttresses that transfer the pressure of the vault to external pillars - buttresses /. The Gothic cathedral symbolized the rush to heaven; Its rich decorative decoration - statues, reliefs, stained glass windows - should have served the same purpose.



REVIVAL (RENAISSANCE) At the beginning of the 15th century. In Florence, a new architectural style was created - the Renaissance (from the French revival) based on the ideologies of rationalism and extreme individualism characteristic of its ideologies. In the era of R., the personality of the architect in the modern sense of the word took shape for the first time, as opposed to the dependence of the medieval architect on the mason guild. There are early and high R.; the first developed in Florence, the center of the second was Rome. The architects of Italy creatively rethought the ancient order system, which introduced proportionality, clarity of composition and convenience into the appearance of the building.


BAROQUE A style in art that developed in European countries in the 16th-17th centuries (in some countries - until the middle of the 18th century). The name comes from the Italian barocco - bizarre, strange. There is another explanation for the origin of this term: this is what Dutch sailors called rejected pearls. For a long time, baroque tin carried a negative assessment. In the 19th century. the attitude towards the Baroque changed, which was facilitated by the work of the German scientist Wölfflin.



ROCOCO The name of the style, which developed mainly in France in the 18th century, is taken from German language. The French name comes from the word rocaille - shell, since the most noticeable external manifestation of this style was the decorative motifs in the form of a shell. R. arose mainly as a decorative style associated with court festivities and entertainment of the aristocracy. The sphere of distribution of art was narrow; it had no folk roots and could not become a truly national style. Playfulness, light entertainment, and whimsical grace are traits characteristic of R. and especially reflected in the ornamental and decorative interpretation of architecture and applied arts. The ornamentation consisted of intricately intertwined garlands of shells, flowers, and curls. Manly curved lines mask the construction of knowledge. Basically, R. manifested itself in the design of the interiors of buildings rather than their exteriors. R. is characterized by a tendency towards asymmetry of compositions, as well as fine detailing of form, a rich and at the same time balanced structure of decor in interiors, a combination of bright and pure tones of color with white and gold, a contrast between severity appearance buildings and the delicacy of their interior decoration. The art of R. is dominated by a graceful, whimsical, ornamental rhythm. The R. style, which became widespread at the court of Louis XV (the work of architects J.M. Oppenort, J.O Meyssonnier, and G.J. Boffrand), until the middle. XIX. called the "Louis XV style".



CLASSICISM A style in European art of the 17th and early 19th centuries, which turned to the ancient heritage as the norm and ideal model. The name of the style comes from the Latin classicus - exemplary. Usually there are two periods in the development of culture. It took shape in the 17th century. in France, reflecting the rise of absolutism. The 18th century is considered a new stage in its development, since at that time it reflected other civic ideals based on the ideas of the philosophical rationalism of the Enlightenment. What unites both periods is the idea of ​​a reasonable pattern of the world, of a beautiful, ennobled nature, the desire to express great social content, sublime heroic and moral ideals. Kazakh architecture is characterized by rigor of form, clarity of spatial design, geometric interiors, soft colors, and laconicism of the exterior and interior decoration of buildings. Unlike Baroque buildings, K.'s masters never created spatial illusions that distorted the proportions of the building. And in park architecture, the so-called regular style is emerging, where all lawns and flower beds have the correct shape, and green spaces are placed strictly in a straight line and carefully trimmed. (Garden and park ensemble of Versailles.)



EMPIRE The name comes from the French empire - imperial. A style that arose in France at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. It is the organic completion of the long development of European classicism. The main feature of this style is the combination of massive simple geometric shapes with military emblems. Its source is Roman sculpture, from which A. inherited the solemn severity and clarity of the composition. A. originally developed in France at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. during the era of the Great French Revolution and was distinguished by a pronounced civic pathos. During the Napoleonic Empire, art was supposed to glorify the military successes and virtues of the ruler. This is where the passion for building various kinds of triumphal arches, memorial columns, and obelisks comes from. Important elements Porticoes become decorative decoration of buildings. Bronze casting, painting of lampshades and alcoves are often used in interior decoration. A. sought to get closer to antiquity more than classicism. In the 18th century The architect B. Vignon built the La Madeleine church on the model of the Roman peripterus, using the Corinthian order. The interpretation of forms was characterized by dryness and emphasized rationalism. The same features characterize the Arc de Triomphe (Arch of the Star) on Place des Stars in Paris (architect Chalgrin). The memorial Column Vendôme (Column of the Grande Armée), erected by Leper and Gondoin, is covered with sheets of bronze cast from Austrian guns. The spiraling bas-relief depicts the events of the victorious war. A.'s style did not develop for long; it was replaced by the time of eclecticism.

Fragments from the presentation

The concept of "Architecture"

The word "architecture" comes from the Greek word "architecton", which means "master builder". Architecture is the art of construction, a type of creativity that shapes reality according to the laws of beauty. Architecture expresses the character of the era. It is influenced by social factors: the nature of the social structure, the dominant ideology. At all times and among all peoples there have been special ideas about the beauty and artistic harmony of architectural style.

Antique architecture

The term "ancient" was coined by Italian humanists during the Renaissance to define Greco-Roman culture, the oldest known at the time. The period of antiquity begins in the 3rd millennium BC. e. and ends in the 5th century. n. e. (lat. Antiquus - ancient). The history of the ancient world is usually divided into several periods:
  • ancient period;
  • archaic period;
  • classical period;
  • Hellenic period.

Greek architecture

  • At the end of the 2nd millennium BC. Representatives of other Greek tribes came to the Peloponnesian Peninsula - the Dorians, Ionians and Aeolians. The country in which they found themselves abounded in materials - clay suitable for firing, wood, but above all stone, from coarse limestone to fine-grained marble. In these territories with an indented seashore, city-states were formed that zealously defended their independence. Citizens prioritized the prosperity of the state and increasing its well-being, erecting public buildings and installing statues.
  • Greek architecture was temple architecture. The Greek temple served exclusively as a room for the statue of the deity. It originated from the Mycenaean megaron. The Greek temple became the main type of public building.

Temples of Greece

  • The Greeks imagined their gods as anthropomorphic beings, immortal and more powerful than ordinary men and women, but the interests, passions and weaknesses of the gods were completely “human” in nature.
  • Being the home of a deity, the temple had to have a clear and rationally constructed form. The prostyle, where a portico with free-standing columns was placed in front of the temple in anta, and the amphiprostyle, in which such porticos were located at both ends, had complex architectural structures.
  • In larger temples, a colonnade was added to one of the listed architectural forms, surrounding the building on four sides.
Temple of Hera

One of the earliest temple buildings known to us was the Temple of Hera at Olympia. But in its place only marble architectural details and fragments were found, but it is known that the original columns were wooden, and there is evidence that the replacement of wood with marble was carried out gradually, as the wooden parts of the building rotted, losing their strength. However, the rather heavy proportions of the most ancient marble columns that have survived to this day indicate an understanding of their role in the work of the stone structure. Craftsmen polished every detail until centuries of experimentation led to the sophistication and perfection of the Parthenon.

Parthenon

The undeniable simplicity and design of the Parthenon delights everyone. This world-famous building, full of beauty and harmony, is actually the Temple of the Virgin (Parthena in Greek) of Athena. It is built in the Doric style from marble quarried from Mount Pendeli, on the same spot where its two predecessors stood. The Parthenon took 15 years to build (447-432 BC). The delicate balance of the Parthenon's white columns against the blue sky has delighted generations and generations, and serves as an eternal symbol of the soul and genius of humanity.

Acropolis

No one and nothing can resist the beauty of the Acropolis - the 156-meter limestone rock, the graceful crown of the city of Athens. Archaeological excavations on the slope and top of the Acropolis have revealed to us that this Sacred Rock was first inhabited in the Neolithic period, 6000 years ago. First The stone temple was built on the Acropolis in the early 6th century BC. , replacing the wooden one, and it served the cult of the Goddess Athena. Some sculptures from its pediment are housed in the Acropolis Museum. During the Persian Wars, the Acropolis was sacked (480-479 BC). The luxurious monuments that we see today date back to the great era when the reconstruction of the sanctuaries took place under the leadership of Pericles (460-429 BC). From this time and throughout the Middle Ages, the Acropolis remained untouched, and only in 1687 some buildings were partially destroyed.

Ancient Rome

  • The architecture of Ancient Rome is divided into several periods:
    • Republican period (V - I centuries BC);
    • Imperial period (31 BC - 5th century AD);
    • The time of Emperor Constantine (306-337 AD).
Pantheon
  • PANTHEON (Greek temple dedicated to all gods), the only one preserved in Rome (43 m high), the greatest ancient domed structure. The Pantheon was built in 115-125. under Hadrian on the site of a similar temple of 27 BC, erected by Agrippa, but destroyed in 110 by a lightning strike. From the 7th century is in the possession of the pope and is a Christian church (Santa Maria Rotunda). It contains, among others, the tomb of Raphael. In honor of the Pantheon in 1791 classic church of St. Genevieve, patroness of Paris, was renamed the French Pantheon (since then - a temple of honor). It got its name because, along with the statues of Mars and Venus, statues of many other gods were installed there. Among the gods a statue of the deified Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Agrippa was placed.
  • The sculptor Diogenes from Athens and, undoubtedly, other Greek sculptors and architects participated in the construction work. The Pantheon was erected as a temple to the gods of the house of Julia (and they, in addition to Mars and Venus, were almost all the Roman gods). After the Forum and the Colosseum, the most majestic monument of Roman architecture and the only ancient Roman temple whose walls and vaults remained intact is the PANTHEON.
Coliseum

In the 70-90s. AD The largest amphitheater of ancient Rome was built - an oval-shaped Colosseum, designed for 56 thousand spectators. Its diameters are 188 and 156 m, height 48.5 m. The architectural system of the Colosseum consists of three tiers of brick-concrete supports supporting marble-lined seats for spectators. The galleries of the two lower tiers are traditional cylindrical vaults; the third tier, built later, uses cross vaults formed by the intersection of two cylindrical vaults. The wall is completed with a high attic - the wall above the crowning cornice. The giant travertine-clad surface of the Colosseum walls gave the impression of power and strength.

History of the computer In the first half of the 19th century. English mathematician Charles Babbage tried to build a universal computing device, that is, a computer (Babbage called it the Analytical Engine). It was Babbage who first came up with the idea that a computer should contain memory and be controlled by a program. In the 40s of the XX century. Several groups of researchers at once repeated Babbage’s attempt based on the technology of the 20th century. - electromechanical relays. The first of these was the German engineer Konrad Zuse, who in 1941 built a small computer based on several electromechanical relays. And in the USA in 1943, at one of the IBM enterprises, the American Howard Aiken created a more powerful computer called “Mark-1”. However, electromechanical relays operate very slowly and are not reliable enough. Therefore, starting in 1943 in the USA, a group of specialists led by John Mauchly and Presper Eckert began to construct an ENIAC computer based on vacuum tubes. The computer they created worked a thousand times faster than Mark-1.

To simplify and speed up the process of setting programs, Mauchly and Eckert began to design a new computer that could store a program in its memory. In 1945, the famous mathematician John von Neumann was brought in to work. After the advent of transistors, the most labor-intensive operation in computer manufacturing was connecting and soldering transistors to create electronic circuits. But in 1959, Robert Noyce (the future founder of Intel) invented a method that makes it possible to create transistors and all the necessary connections between them on one silicon wafer. Received electronic circuits became known as integrated circuits, or chips. In 1968, Burroughs released the first integrated circuit computer, and in 1970, Intel began selling memory integrated circuits. In 1974, several companies announced the creation of a personal computer based on the Intel-8008 microprocessor. In early 1975, the first commercially distributed personal computer Altair-8800 based on the Intel-8080 microprocessor.

Romanesque style Style of the VIV-XIII centuries. The main role was given to harsh, fortress architecture. Monasteries, churches, castles were located on elevated places, dominating the area. The original prototype of the churches were Roman basilicas, but they were significantly modified: for example, the flat ceiling was replaced by a vault. Churches were decorated with paintings and reliefs, in conventional forms expressing the frightening power of God. But images of animals and plants go back to folk art. Magnificent examples of Romanesque architecture include the Cathedral in Pisa and the Church of St. Miniatas in Florence. There are many excellent examples of this style in France and Germany (for example, the cathedral in Bamberg).

Gothic Style 12-16 centuries. It reflected the formation of national states, the strengthening of cities, the development of trade and crafts. The leading architectural type is the city cathedral. The frame system made it possible to create cathedral interiors of unprecedented height and spaciousness, and to cut through the walls with huge windows with multi-colored bends. The upward thrust of the cathedral is expressed by giant openwork towers, lancet windows and portals, curved statues, and complex ornaments. Town halls, as well as residential buildings, shopping arcades and other structures were built in the same style. In Gothic we see an increased interest in the real world, nature, and the richness of experiences.

Renaissance style Renaissance is a period of history from the 14th to the 17th centuries. Characterized by a humanistic worldview and an appeal to the cultural heritage of antiquity. However, ancient culture developed and was interpreted in a new way. In architecture, secular buildings began to play a leading role - public buildings, palaces, city houses. Using the order division of walls, arched galleries, colonnades, vaults, domes, architects gave their buildings majestic clarity, harmony and proportionality to man. The buildings are characterized by clarity of structure and clear division of strict volumes and light, spacious interiors.

Baroque One of the main styles of the 16th - 18th centuries. It is associated with the noble-church culture of mature absolutism. It reflected ideas about the complexity, diversity, and variability of the world. Characterized by contrast, tension, dynamism, a desire for grandeur and splendor, for a combination of reality and illusion. Architecture is characterized by spatial scope, unity, and fluidity of complex, usually curvilinear forms.

Rococo Style, early 18th century. Characterized by a departure from life into the world of fantasy and mythology. A particularly characteristic motif of the ornament is a stylized shell (rocaille). A graceful, whimsical ornamental rhythm dominates. The buildings are distinguished by their sophistication, decorative beauty of asymmetrical compositions, and comfort. Lush interior design can be combined with the relative severity of the external appearance of buildings (for example, in the architecture of French hotels).

Classicism Style 17th - 19th centuries. It developed in France, reflecting the rise of absolutism. In the 18th century he was associated with the bourgeois Enlightenment. The ancient heritage is considered as the norm and an ideal example. The architecture is characterized by clarity and geometric shapes, logical planning, a combination of walls with orders, and restrained decor. The basis of the architectural language is the order, in proportions and forms closer to antiquity than in the architecture of previous eras. The interior is characterized by clarity of spatial divisions and softness of colors. Perspective effects are widely used in monumental and decorative painting.

Art Nouveau Style of the late 19th - early 20th centuries. Art Nouveau architecture sought the unity of constructive and artistic principles. New ones are used technical means, new materials (for example, reinforced concrete), free, functionally based layout, decorative rhythm of flexible flowing lines, stylized floral patterns, especially from aquatic plants. The buildings are emphatically individualized, all their elements are subject to a single ornamental rhythm and figurative and symbolic design.

Hi-tech. Since the late 1970s. High-tech is a style in architecture and design that originated in the depths of late modernism in the 1970s and found widespread use in the 1980s. The main theorists and practitioners of high-tech are mainly English - Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Nicholas Grimshaw, at some stage of their work James Stirling and the Italian Renzo Piano. High-tech, according to the classification of Charles Jencks, belongs to late modernism, that is, it is characterized by pragmatism, the idea of ​​the architect as an elite professional, the provision of services by architecture, complex simplicity, sculptural form, hyperbole, manufacturability, structure and design as an ornament, anti- historicity, monumentality.

Inextricably linked with the life of Rome and the development of its urbanism, the Forum marked a significant important stages in the history of the city, uniting in one single place all aspects of socio-political and economic life. The Forum, stretching over an area of ​​about 500 meters between the Palatine, Capitoline and Esquiline hills, at the very beginning of its existence was a huge swamp, drained by the construction of a whole network of canals (one of which was the famous Cloaca Maximus), where all the water flowing into the Tiber was collected. It seems that the name of the Forum, born as a place for shopping arcades, Roman Forum An ideal reconstruction of the Roman Forum (Palatino Directorate).

Slide 4

when there were still separate settlements on various hills, it comes from the word "foras", that is, a place outside the residential center. After the unification of the city into a single whole, the Forum became the ideal center (and almost the geographical core) of Rome. From this point on, trade activity began to gradually move to other places, and along the entire Forum, densely built up with temples dedicated to the cult of the main deities and famous deified Romans, basilicas, places of trials and trade transactions, stretched the Sacred Road, Via Sacra, along which in the days During the festivities, solemn processions moved and victorious troops passed in triumph. The Forum is interesting for its Comitium, where the people gathered to elect judges, the Curia, in which the Senate sat, as well as arches, trophies and columns in memory of outstanding events. Among the trophies special attention deserve the famous rostra of enemy ships defeated in battle, which adorned the Tribune dei Rostri. From it the Roman Forum

Slide 5

orators spoke, captivating the crowd: from here Cicero spoke against Catiline, and Antony touched the Romans with his laudatory speech on the death of Caesar. But the moments of splendor were followed by a gradual decline, and first the Forum had to give way to the new forums of the imperial era, after which it, along with the entire Roman civilization, shaken by the invasions of the barbarians, plunged into the darkness of the long Middle Ages. In the last century, however, interest in archeology arose and systematic excavations began. Of the numerous finds of the Forum, we will have to limit ourselves to only those, Relief with figures of Roman dignitaries (Roman Forum). which perfectly characterize his three fundamental important aspects: political, judicial-administrative and religious. However, it would be unfair not to mention its decorative elements, such as triumphal arches Tiberius and Septimius Severus, a huge number of statues, columns, as well as chapels, benches, fountains and other less significant structures.

It was erected in 203 AD. in honor of Emperor Septimius Severus and his children Caracalla and Geta. This massive, three-span arch, 23 meters wide, is one of the largest memorial arches in existence. The inscription on both sides of the attic recalls the victories of Septimius Severus in wars, including over the Partis and the Arabs. Episodes from these wars are carved in bas-relief above the arched vaults, while captive barbarians are depicted at the base of the columns.

Roman Forum From this, which was one of the most grandiose basilicas of the Republican era, only a few decorative elements remained, broken columns, capitals, parts of pediments and entablatures. The basilica was built next to the Curia in 179 BC. censors Marcus Aemilius Lepidus and Marcus Fulvius Nobilor; Subsequently, the basilica was expanded and completed by other representatives of the Emilian family. The basilica was of considerable size. For example, the side facing the Forum consisted of an arched gallery over 100 meters long. Inside, the basilica was divided into a number of rooms, the largest of which was a hall, which probably served for public meetings, and outside it was surrounded by a colonnade of African and veined marble.

Legend has it that the Curia was founded during the era of Tulla Ostilius. It burned several times and was reconstructed both during the Republic and the Empire. It was the seat of the Senate until the 8th century, when Pope Honorius I turned it into a church. Restoration work, which was carried out at the beginning of this century, returned the Curia to the original simplicity of its exterior and interior, consisting of one rectangular hall with a marble inlaid floor.

What remains of the temple are Corinthian columns supporting an amazingly painted entablature. In the 11th century the temple was converted into Christian Church, dedicated to San Lorenzo in Miranda and rebuilt in the 17th century.

Roman Forum In this building lived six priestesses who worshiped the goddess of the family hearth, Vesta, who were chosen by the High Priest Maximus from twenty female representatives burning with holy fire. The Vestals remained in the house for thirty years, taking a vow of celibacy and maintaining a fire in the hearth, which was their main occupation, and if they disobeyed, they were buried alive. Bread and a lamp were placed in the grave with them. House of the Vestals Garden of the House of the Vestals.

It was believed that this temple was erected by Maxentius for the son of Romulus, who died as a child in 307 AD, but probably we are talking about the temple of the Penates, built on the site of one previously destroyed temple, on the ruins of which a large basilica was built. Most The temple was preserved thanks to its transformation into the atrium of the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian (VI century AD). Still. you can admire the characteristic central chapel with a domed roof with an arched facade with two chapels and apses on the sides. Time has also preserved the ancient bronze entrance door with a lock from that era. Temple of Romulus Roman Forum

Temple of Castor and Pollux. Erected in 484 BC. It was a place of not only religious, but also important political significance: on July 15 of each year, horsemen rode here before the censors, and judges taking office took an oath of allegiance to the laws. Unfortunately, only the base (50x30 meters) and three wonderful Corinthian columns over 12 meters high, which are probably the most famous columns in the entire Roman Forum due to their slenderness, grandeur and elegance, remain of the building at present.

Temple of Vesta. This temple was one of the most revered in Rome, since Vesta was the goddess of the family hearth and fire, a holy symbol of the continuity of the state. It was burned and restored several times. Evidence of the last restoration, carried out at the beginning of the 3rd century AD. At the behest of Septimius Severus's wife, Julia Domna, the ruins of the building, which have survived to this day, appear. The original circular structure of the temple reproduced the shape of an Italic hut made of thatch and wood, with a conical roof and a hole in the center to release smoke.

It was started by Maxentius, and completed and modified by Constantine after he defeated Maxentius in the battle on the Tiber at the Ponte Milvio bridge in 213 AD. At first, Maxentius conceived a basilica with three naves, of which the central one was wider than the two side naves and had a cruciform roof, and the other two had a barrel roof. The building was 100 meters long and 60 wide, reaching a height of 35 meters in the central nave. Constantine changed the structure of the basilica, opening the apse with a niche in the right nave and moving the central entrance. Basilica of Maxentius Roman Forum

Rising at the top of the Sacred Road, Via Sacra, near the exit from the Forum. Erected after the death of Emperor Titus in 81 AD, in memory of his suppression of the Jewish uprising of 66-70. Indeed, in the inscription on the Arch of Titus, Titus is called “Divus,” as the Romans called kings and emperors who especially distinguished themselves during their lifetime, and who, after the Arch of Titus, were elevated to the rank of demigods. The graceful single-span arch was built in the 1st century AD. Roman Forum Arch of Titus Arch of Titus

The height of the arch is 15.40 m, width 13.50 m and depth - 4.75 m. The central part, erected on a high plinth, is decorated with Corinthian semi-columns supporting a frieze depicting the triumph of the emperor. Four winged Victorias are carved into the corners near the span. Inside the span there are two amazing bas-reliefs depicting, the first a triumphal procession with military trophies captured during the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem, and the second - the Emperor Titus driving a quadriga.

The Palatine Hill, bounded by the small valleys of the Roman Forum and the ancient lists of Circus Maximus, according to legend, owes its name to “Palesa,” the goddess of shepherds, in whose honor “Palilia” were held, purification festivals, organized since the founding of Rome. And if the Romans associated with the Palatine the place where Romulus built the city, then everyone knows the fact that this hill is the cradle of Rome, since the most ancient settlements in Rome were discovered on it. During the era of the Republic, temples and houses of noble Romans stood on this hill, and among them the monastery of Crassus and Cicero, and during the period of the Empire, it was the residence of emperors and the richest houses of antiquity stood here.

“It was one of the most beautiful creations in the world,” wrote the poet Martial about this building, whose name means “house of the emperor.” The first work was carried out under Domitian (late 1st century AD), and then the house was expanded and completed by other emperors, who continued to live in it for several centuries. In the Middle Ages, the house became part of other structures, and later, in the 16th century, with the construction of the Villa dei Farnese and degli Orti Farnesiani, the Farnesian Vegetable Gardens, it became a grand park that still exists today.

The "Flavian House" was built for himself by Domitian towards the end of the 1st century AD. The house included a large basilica with three naves, a royal hall, a "lararium" and a leristil. In the center of the garden there was a large fountain in the shape of an octagonal labyrinth. Stole Palazzo deo Flavi

The Great Palatine Hippodrome is 160 meters long and 50 meters wide. The wall structures were made of baked bricks with marble cladding. The stadium was surrounded by a portico; on one of its sides there was a platform from which the emperor watched the spectacles and performances of gymnasts.

Between the Esquiline, Caelian and Palatine hills, the Flavian Amphitheater, called the Colosseum, rises majestically, the construction of which began under the Emperor Vespasian in 72 AD. in the place where previously there was an artificial lake of Nero's magnificent palace called the "Golden House". Tradition says that the Romans were very pleased with the construction of this new monumental structure, since they did not like the luxurious house of the tyrant, which interfered with traffic and was a barrier to entry into the Forums. In addition, from the point of view of urban development and aesthetics, the Colosseum perfectly complemented the perspective of the Forum and became, with its bulk, link and the ideal location of the Colosseum view of the Colosseum from the Palatine Hill

passage to the majestic monuments of the rising hills beyond. In the year 60, under Titus Flavius, the son of Emperor Vespasian, a magnificent opening ceremony took place, on the occasion of which hundred-day games were announced, during which several thousand gladiators fought and a large number of animals were hunted. Largely completed under the Emperor Domitian and restored during the era of Septimius Severus, the Colosseum continued to be a symbol of the greatness and power of Rome for many centuries. And, indeed, there is not a single printed work, be it a print, a drawing or a painting, where the Colosseum does not appear, towering above other majestic ruins. In 246, under Emperor Decius, during the celebration of the millennium of Rome, the Colosseum was a theater of magnificent spectacles, where, according to the memories of that era, 32 elephants, 60 lions, 40 wild horses and dozens of other animals were killed, including elk and zebras , tigers, giraffes and hippos. Bloody battles of about 2,000 gladiators also took place there, which was probably the most favorite spectacle of the Romans. As for the mass martyrdom of Christians, it has not yet been proven historically. Gladiator battles ended by 404, while animal battles continued and were stopped only in recent years VI century. The amphitheater was repeatedly destroyed by strong earthquakes. Coliseum

Subsequently, the Roman families dei Frangipane and degliAnnibaldi turned it into their fortress, until, by order of Arrigo VII, the Colosseum became the property of the Romans. In subsequent centuries, the Colosseum began to fall into disrepair; huge blocks of travertine were removed and taken away for the construction of other palaces: Palazzo Cancelleria, Palazzo Venezia and the same Cathedral of St. Petra. And finally, in 1750, Benedict XIV proclaimed the Colosseum a holy place, since it was, according to the prevailing opinion at that time, the place of death “for Christ” of numerous martyrs of pagan Rome Colosseum model of the reconstruction of the Colosseum, stored in the amphitheater

Slide 28

OUTSIDE - In plan, the amphitheater has the shape of an ellipse, 188 meters long, 156 meters wide and 57 meters high. The construction of the Colosseum took 10 years and occurred during the reign of three emperors from the Flavian family: Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. The name of the architect who designed the amphitheater is unknown, but it is assumed that he was Rabirius, who later became the author of Domitian's palace. The outside of the amphitheater is entirely covered with travertine and has four tiers. The three lower ones represent arched propets running along the entire profile, cut by pilasters and semi-columns in the canonical sequence: on the first tier - Doric, on the second - Ionic, and on the third - Corinthian. The fourth, upper tier, completed a little later, is a solid wall, dissected by Corinthian pilasters and cut through by small windows. The crowning cornice still has holes where supports were inserted to stretch the bright awning, protecting spectators from the heat. Coliseum

Slide 29

Each arched flight of the first tier corresponded to an entrance to the seats for spectators: 76 of these entrances were numbered (Roman numerals can still be seen on the arches); The four main entrances were intended: one for the imperial retinue, another for the Vestals, the third for judges and the last for honored guests. All arched spans of the second and third floors were decorated with statues that have not survived to this day. When the Colosseum became something of a giant public quarry in the Middle Ages, all the metal fasteners that held the travertine blocks together were removed, leaving behind holes that are still visible today. On the platform in front of the amphitheater stood a thirty-meter bronze statue of Nero, called the Colossus; It is assumed that the name Colosseum - large, colossal - came precisely from this colossus.

Slide 30

INSIDE - The amphitheater accommodated about 50,000-70,000 spectators, seated on its steps depending on their social class. There were three categories of seats: the “podium,” which fell into the first category, where representatives of the highest class sat and where the emperor’s box was located; the second category of places, in the center, reserved for "civis", citizens belonging to the middle class and the third, "sum", where the people were accommodated. There was probably also a fourth category of places reserved for women. Under the arena there was a whole system of cells, galleries, storage rooms, dressing rooms and basements, which have now been revealed thanks to excavations. We are talking about a whole series of rooms where various objects and mechanisms were stored and where animals were kept before and after spectacles, the main types of which were gladiator fights (“ludi”) and “venationes”, animal hunting; but in the arena there were also performances of magicians, sports competitions, equestrian tournaments and naval battles - naumachia. Games were held on the occasion of significant dates, annual holidays and extraordinary events. In some cases this occurred on the emperor's birthdays and celebrations of historical events, and in others as a result of triumph or victory. It should be said that funerals were also a reason for holding this kind of games. Coliseum

Slide 31

The announcements (edicts) issued on this occasion indicated the order of the games, the reason for which they were held and the day they began. On such days, with the help of a complex mechanism and the use of a large selected workforce, a huge multi-colored awning made of silk and linen was raised over the steps. Coliseum
