Architecture of Civilization: Entasis

The Greeks introduced entasis, or subtle curvature, into their temple columns to ensure they appeared straight and balanced to viewers. Without entasis, the uncorrected columns would appear distorted from some angles. The Parthenon best exemplifies the Greek architects' use of entasis to achieve their ideal of architectural perfection.

ARCHITECTURE OF CIVILIZATION

DORIC ORDER - ENTASIS

Diagram one on top shows how the ancient
Greeks wanted the temple to appear
If the temple is built without correction,
then diagram two shows how it would
actually appear
To ensure that it appears correctly as
desired in one, the Greeks introduced the
distortions shown in diagram three
The application of entasisis an expression
of the desire for perfection by Greek
architects
The best example of the application of
entasisis found in the Parthenon
