Thesis (Ph. D.)--Princeton University, 1912.

The focus of this dissertation is the design, construction and function of the South Stoa at Corinth in its initial phase. The South Stoa was first published in a monograph by Oscar Broneer in 1954.1 In addition to dealing with the Greek and Roman phases of the building, Broneer’s study also dealt with the “pre-stoa” remains. Certain aspects of the architecture of the stoa, however, were either treated only briefly or were entirely left out of the publication. While it was one of the first attempts at a full study of a secular Greek building, several conclusions deserve re-evaluation, including the date of construction and the design of the building in its initial phase, which has an impact on subsequent phases of remodeling, the function of the building, as well as its place in the historical development of stoas. Re-evaluation of the in situ remains of the stoa combined with newly identified architectural fragments of the building, particularly from the superstructure, provide important evidence to suggest an alternative reconstruction to that previously put forward. This new reconstruction is presented as the most likely solution, in awareness of the possibility that future finds may give rise to modification. As will be shown, the staircases inside the first and last front rooms of the stoa do not belong to the initial building phase as previously thought, but instead date to the Roman period, while evidence in the form of foundations and cuttings for a staircase inside the colonnade at the west end of the stoa, dated prior to 146 B.C., belongs to the initial phase of the building and calls for an entirely different interior reconstruction. The date of the stoa, which has fluctuated from sometime after the middle of the fourth century B.C. (340-320 B.C.) to the early decades of the third century B.C., can now be more precisely determined in view of recent examination of pottery deposits from beneath the stoa terrace, which was built prior to the stoa’s construction. These deposits have been dated between 300-290 B.C., which would push the date of the stoa’s construction to the beginning decades of the third century B.C. This has considerable bearing on the early development of Hellenistic stoas and on the stylistic chronology of several other buildings built around the end of the fourth century B.C. Having resolved aspects of the reconstruction and situated the stoa chronologically, the focus of this study moves on to design considerations, including examination of the proportions and of the ancient foot unit used in the design of the building. Construction and statics of the building are also considered.

Under consideration are the temple layouts at Delphi and the Athenian Acropolis which were shaped in completely different ways. What they have in common, however, is that both represent an architecture on two hierarchic levels: the upper or sacred level as symbolised by the eternal principle expressed in both elevated Doric temples, which are placed in dramatic juxtaposition with features in their natural settings (earth, horizon, sky); and the lower, human level which is represented by the auxiliary buildings of the approach areas of these temple complexes. The latter buildings are smaller than the main temples and are marked by complexity and ambiguity in that they are imperfect, of varied design and not oriented to a geometric axis, which is in complete contrast to the serenity of the fully articulated superior Doric order exemplified by the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and the Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis. In both cases the focus will be on the perceptual totality of the group designs.

A concepção arquitetônica dos templos dóricos gregos é estudada na perspectiva da Arqueologia da Arquitetura stricto sensu. Verificamos a relevância e o papel que teve a aplicação da geometria e da aritmética como recursos técnicos e metodológicos para o desenvolvimento do projeto do templo dórico grego no século V a.C., visando esclarecer e estabelecer vínculos entre tais ramos da matemática e a lógica subjacente que norteou os arquitetos, tanto em projeto como nas aplicações precisas em obra. Para isso, abordarmos os fundamentos científicos da arquitetura grega a partir da análise de 10 templos clássicos hexastilos (configuração canônica da ordem dórica) fazendo um balanço crítico sobre o alcance e o limite das teorias modernas que desenvolveram modelos de interpretação para o projeto do templo dórico grego. Adotamos como ponto de partida, e referência fundamental, os artigos publicados por J. J. Coulton em meados da década de setenta, no periódico The Annual of the British School at Athens, e vamos sistemáticamente atualizando o debate apoiado nas discussões mais recentes. / The Architectural conception of the Greek Doricos temples has been studied in the perspective of the Archaeology of the Architecture stricto sensu.

Cette thèse met en avant une démarche originale, celle de faire cohabiter l'utilisation d'une technologie moderne, au sein d'une étude archéologique conventionnelle centrée sur l'architecture grecque. L'utilisation de la modélisation 3D dans ce projet doctoral nous amène indubitablement à explorer de nouvelles problématiques en archéologie grecque. Pour ce faire, une réflexion sera menée sur les apports de cette technologie aux sciences archéologiques. En effet, la restitution d'un édifice antique en 3D implique des questionnements sur la réalité virtuelle créée. La modélisation 3D se fonde sur du matériel archéologique partiel altéré par le temps. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire de prendre du recul face à une image 3D qui peut idéaliser une réalité archéologique. Notre étude s'appliquera aussi à apporter des solutions permettant de remédier à ces complications liées à la restitution virtuelle. De plus, la restitution 3D d'un édifice antique n'est pas une fin en soi. En d'autres termes, cette technologie doit par son approche intuitive apporter une nouvelle façon d'appréhender les questions qui touchent à la construction des édifices antiques. À commencer par les méthodes de constructions ou encore la faisabilité architecturale...etc. Dans un même temps, nous mènerons un examen architectural et archéologique dans le but de proposer une étude qui soit équilibrée et qui puisse être réutilisée par la recherche archéologique. Nos objectifs sont multiples et cette étude fait le vœu d'être ambitieuse. Pour cela, cette étude s'attellera à éviter l'écueil de proposer une approche ayant un cadre trop restrictif. C'est pourquoi nous envisageons de préférence une étude qui associera plusieurs groupes d'édifices aux fonctions différentes. De ce fait, en tenant compte d'un maximum de situations et de réalités archéologiques, notre examen gagnera en représentativité, tout comme cela lui assurera une probabilité plus grande d'être réutilisé dans la recherche pour d'autres applications liées à la restitution 3D. Cette thèse est aussi une occasion d'évoquer les questions liées à la valorisation du patrimoine culturel. Ce thème sera aussi abordé, car le partage du savoir ne doit pas seulement être destiné aux initiés, mais aussi auprès du grand public. Il s'agit là d'une mission essentielle que l'archéologie se doit de mener à bien. / This thesis puts forward a novel approach who will make cohabit together the use of a modern technology in a conventional archaeological study focused on Greek architecture. The use of 3D modeling in this doctoral project leads undoubtedly to explore new issues in the Greek archeology. To do this, we will consider to the benefits of this technology to archaeological sciences. Indeed, the restitution of an ancient building in 3D, involves questions on the virtual reality that created. 3D modeling is based on the archaeological material altered by the time. That is why, it is necessary to take a step back on a 3D picture that can idealize an archaeological reality. Our study will also apply to provide solutions to overcome these complications of the virtual restitution. Moreover, the 3D rendition of an ancient building is not an end in itself. In other words, this technology must provide a intuitive approach and a new way to understand the issues that affect at the construction of ancient buildings. Starting with the construction methods or architectural feasibility ... etc.. At the same time, we will conduct an architectural and archaeological examination in order to propose a study that is balanced and that can be reused by archaeological research. Our goals are many and this study wants to be ambitious. For this, this study will strive to avoid the pitfall of proposing an approach that is too restrictive. That is why we plan to combine preferably a study several groups of buildings with different functions. Therefore, taking into account a maximum of archaeological situations our study will be more representative, as this will ensure it a greater likelihood of being reused in the archeological studies. This thesis is also an opportunity to discuss issues related to the promotion of cultural heritage. This topic will also be addressed because the sharing of knowledge should not be accessible only to insiders, but it must also be affordable for the general public. This is an essential task that archeology must carry.

This master thesis deals with comparison of Greek temples in areas of Magna Graecia and the mainland Greece from the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The first chapter covers with the Greek colonization in Sicily and south Italy. Main temple buildings from both areas are described and compared in following chapters. All the differences between both areas are summarized in the end of the thesis.

A concepção arquitetônica dos templos dóricos gregos é abordada na interface da análise entre as fontes textuais e a cultura material. Verificamos a relevância e o papel que tiveram a \"elegância\" e a \"sutileza\", segundo Vitrúvio, no modus operandi dos arquitetos gregos, como recursos técnicos e metodológicos para o desenvolvimento do projeto do templo dórico grego entre o século V-II a.C. Visamos esclarecer e estabelecer vínculos entre esses conceitos relativamente subjetivos e a lógica subjacente que norteou os arquitetos, tanto em projeto como nas aplicações precisas em obra, verificando assim a Hipótese Modular proposta por Mark Wilson Jones, para a concepção dos templos dóricos gregos. Para isso, abordarmos os fundamentos científicos da arquitetura grega a partir da análise de dois grupos de templos: o Grupo 1, composto de oito templos hexastilos, 6 x 13, do século V a.C. e o Grupo 2, composto de nove templos hexastilos perípteros de configuração de colunata lateral variada, datados entre o IV-II século a.C. Adotamos como ponto de partida da pesquisa, e referência fundamental, os artigos publicados por Mark Wilson Jones em 2001 e 2006, respectivamente, nos periódicos: American Journal of Archaeology e Nexus. Procuramos sistematicamente atualizar o debate apoiados nas discussões mais recentes e em nossas próprias análises e conclusões. / This thesis addresses the conception of Greek Doric Temple Design and architecture found in the analysis of and interface between textual sources and material culture. This thesis notes the importance of and the role that \"elegance\" and \"subtlety\" played, according to Vitruvius, in the modus operandi of Greek architects, including technical and methodological resources in the development of Greek Doric temples between the fifth and second centuries BC. This work aims to clarify and establish links between these relatively subjective concepts and the subjacent logic that guided these architects, both in design as well as in their precise application in construction, thus verifying the Modular hypothesis proposed by Mark Wilson Jones. Towards this end, this thesis addresses the scientific foundations of Greek architecture by analyzing two groups of temples: Group 1, comprised of eight 6 x 13 hexastyle temples from the fifth century BC and Group 2, comprised of nine hexastyle peripteral temples in varied peristyle lateral configuration, dated between the fourth and second centuries BC. The starting point of and the fundamental reference for the research are scholarly articles published by Mark Wilson Jones in 2001 and 2006 in The American Journal of Archaeology and Nexus, respectively. This work seeks to systematically update the latest debates and discussions surrounding this topic via the author\'s own analysis and subsequent conclusions.
