“The stylobate of the Parthenon is curved for drainage” … damn the Greeks really were smarter than half of our starchitects.

Microsoft, 3 out of 10.
Unconventional approach to the stylobate; no clear entrance to naos. Column bases and pediment edges oddly inflated- temple, or cheeky bouncy house?

Many are talking about the restoration of the Parthenon’s west pediment, but here’s a temple with its pediment still intact.
The Temple of Concord, Agrigento, Sicily, ca. 440 BCE, is one of the best-preserved Doric temples in the world.

[3/8] Premier exemple : le stylobate, base du temple, n’est pas horizontal. Ses côtés dessinent un arc qui s’élève de 6cm au centre. Depuis Vitruve, on affirme que cette courbure corrige l’impression qu’une longue ligne droite s’affaisserait au milieu. Goriely ne trouve aucune preuve de cet effet.

Is the frieze signaling in morse code? Shading gives a bit of depth and mystery to the naos, columns and stylobate present; pediment is sadly unadorned.

Colbert had a bit on the ionic/corinthian dispute which I think is the first time the term “stylobate” has been uttered on broadcast TV since Bob Stern’s Pride of Place in 1984.

A perfectly serviceable temple with Doric columns. Proper stylobate, capitals on the columns, attempt at an entablature. Nice color, shading, and depth—high-quality marble. Missing heroic deeds on the pediment.

Interesting. Not exactly transformational, but making the pediment’s geometry more complete and legible definitely makes a difference.

If you look between the columns on the stylobate there seem to be statues. I bet they are all of him.

While I am not a big fan of towers, the urban design outcomes would largely depend on what the stylobate levels are for.
Retail, services, and catering? Great.
Multi-level parking? Terrible.
This said, I'd be interested to get to know why mid-rise high-density isn't (seen as) a possibility.

The Parthenon stylobate is curved, but the proposed optical illusion making the building look straighter is not supported by human visual perception limits and real-world viewing conditions.

![Photograph by Geurst of an example of the Lutyens-designed War Stone component of the cemeteries in the French countryside. Taken this Armistice Day from *Cemeteries of the Great War by Sir Edwin Lutyens* by Jeroen Geurst [OIO, Rotterdam, 2010]. The War Stone is a simple monolithic altar form on a broad, shallow stylobate. All of its horizontal lines rise and fall as the surfaces of nested spheres centered deep underground and cresting through the greensward into the light to a height of no more than four feet. These stones, blinding white, are central features in each of the 140 cemeteries he planned.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tofsmqf5qx5cnjj6p2ws4gy4/bafkreihjdfohiwbcu5gao2j6js2w2xsji4bmt5m3f35yceezfnywzuryom)

The best know Parthenon myth is that the stylobate and architrave curvatures interact with the columns as in the Hering illusion to achieve rectilinearity.

Memory Questions
Are memory palaces best for memorizing dates? What do you do if there are multiple events to recall for a single year?
How do I recall facts? That is a general question; here is a specification: how do I best memorize the parts of a Greek temple? (They are: abacus, acanthus, architrave, astragal, base, capital, column, cornice, echinus, entablature, euthynteria, frieze, metope, pediment, shaft, stereobate, stylobate, triglyph, volute, cella, pronaos, peristyle, stylobate.)
I have studied Greek and Latin and use the flashcard Anki to study words. I do learn the words—verbs with their principal parts take the longest to commit to memory—but I end up with 400 or 500 cards per day, which typically take three or four hours to get through, and I just do not have the time to spend so much time on vocabulary. At the same time, I really do need to learn the words. For context, when I review grammar, I write out the relevant structures and concepts before checking my work and repeat this until I can generate all the forms. With ancient, and, more importantly, modern languages, my goal is generation; that is, I want to be able to produce words I memorized, not just recognize them.

It has a volute cap with the egg and dart
Got a limestone base to keep the stylobate apart.
There's a fluted column, standing proud and straight
No acanthus motif; it's from an earlier date
And isnt it ionic?
Don't you think?

Oui, et c'est mon métier. Je dirais même mieux, le summum de notre art c'est quand on triche (cf le stylobate bombé du parthénon). A l'instar de l'acteur de théâtre j'apporte (enfin j'essaie)de la joie à mon "public" et cette joie n'est pas factice, elle est reproductible et certainement pas futile.

There’s a lot less left of the east pediment, which would make it a much more invasive restoration. Having enhanced the west pediment, they've shown what needs to be shown. I think the east pediment should be left alone, and I’d be surprised if any changes were made.
