Architecture: Parthenon Today (2020/21)

The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis or precisely, the remains of it in its modern appearance.

Built between 447-438 BC (decoration extended until 432) and dedicated to Athene as thanks to the goddess for the Hellenic victory over the Persian Invaders.

It is considered the most important surviving building of Classical Greece and as the zenith of the Doric order. The Parthenon was further richly ornate with highly detailed Metopes and Pediments as well as the famous Frieze.

Since 1975 the Greek government initiated the restoration of the over 2.500 years old monument. The efforts to restore and conserve this site are a continuing process to the present day.

Because of the near deadline and the fact, that I unfortunately didn’t have currently all parts in the right colours at hand, I decided to go on digital. Model is completely able to be built with real bricks.

I built also a reconstructed version of the Parthenon as it probably have looked like in the 5th century BC.
