They produced idealised forms of the human body, and stone structures of monumental proportions.
It wasn't originally called 'Gothic'. It was called 'French style' architecture by those who built the structures in the Middle Ages. The term was first applied during the Renaissance by artists and builders who referred to medieval structures as 'Gothic' - a put down meaning Germanic, barbarian, non-Classical. The Renaissance, of course, was much more concerned with Classical Greek and Roman art than with medieval European.
We see examples of Greek architecture today is the Parthenon. A Greek temple.
Greek architecture influenced local architecture in a few ways. This is because the Greeks started to use arches and a different way of building.
because they both lick cock wow. That was a mature answer was it not?? Anywho, Greek and Roman architecture were similar in that they both used coumns. The only difference was that the Romans added the arch and dome. Also, the Greeks built facilities such as the ampitheater. The Romans were more upscale seeing as they built the Coloseum of Rome. Both of those answers suck. The question wasn't 'how Greek and Roman architecture were similar' , it was 'WHY Greek and Roman architecture were similar.' -___________-

Amphitheaters were not built on the side of anything, they were free standing structures. You are possibly thinking of Greek theaters which often were built on the side of hills.Amphitheaters were not built on the side of anything, they were free standing structures.

Ziggurats were massive structures built in the ancient Mesopotamian valley and western Iranian plateau.
They produced idealised forms of the human body, and stone structures of monumental proportions.
Inca structures were typically built with finely cut stones and were often situated on mountaintops, like Machu Picchu. Aztec structures were made of adobe bricks and were often located in the heart of cities, such as the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan. Inca architecture focused on integrating structures with the natural landscape, while Aztec architecture featured intricate stone carvings and symbolic elements.
no, not all Greek architecture has columns

Greek civilisation was not influenced by Greek architecture. Greek architecture was a product of Greek civilisation
The Tempe of Pompey was not built in a Greek style. It was a prime example of Roman theatre architecture, not Greek temple architecture. In fact it set the canons of Roman theatre architecture. Among other things, it was built on flat ground with its own foundation. This was a Roman architectural innovation. The Greeks only carved their theatres out of hillsides. They did not have any foundations.
Greek architecture is predominantly known for and saluted by the world today for its unique gift of "orders". literally, an order means a column with a base(optional) and an entablature- the crown or roof which rests on the columns. the Greeks developed three kinds of orders namely Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, which form the base of development of column-beam structures and trabeated style of architecture. today also all buildings in the world standing on column-beam structures owe to the Greek architecture for its roots and basic ideaology and hence, this style of architecture remains well alive and respected in today's modern era.
