Packet L: Bonus 3

Answer the following about architectural refinements in Classical buildings meant to correct human visual distortions, for 10 points each.
[10e] In their design for this temple, Ictinus and Callicrates sloped the exterior columns inward and made the corner columns thicker to stabilize the building’s appearance. Phidias sculpted Athena for this temple on the Acropolis.
ANSWER: Parthenon
[10h] Because long horizontal lines appear to sag down from afar, the Greeks often made this uppermost step of a temple slightly convex, as in the Parthenon. This step sits atop the stereobate in the typically three-step crepidoma.
ANSWER: stylobate [or stylobates]
[10m] This architect gave the term “entasis” to the slight swelling of a column shaft to make it appear straight to the human eye. That definition appears in Book Three of this architect’s Ten Books on Architecture.
ANSWER: Vitruvius [or Marcus Vitruvius Pollio]
