The Temple of Olympian Zeus incorporates the two main components of a building, columns and the entablature, composed of horizontal blocks with no arches or curves. The Theatre at Epidaurus incorporates the straight line design with the number of straight cut stairs although the shape is semi-circular. It is an open air theatre cut into the side of a hill with hand carved steps and seats. The Parthenon incorporates the entablature and the use of columns, the Doric column. The entasis of the columns was also used in the Parthenon to overcome the optical illusion of concavity.

Overrall this movement is amazing with the size of the structures althought it does look very plain and boring with all the straight lines and order of the movement. This is not a preferable architectural movement of mine.
