This insightful booklet provides a concise introduction to the remarkable engineering and artistry of ancient Greek architecture. Focusing on the Athenian Agora, an unparalleled site for studying building techniques, the authors reveal how monumental temples, public structures, and private homes were conceived and constructed over a millennium. From financing and site preparation to quarrying, transport, and the ingenious use of tools and materials, every stage of ancient Athenian construction is illustrated through helpful photographs and drawings. Insights from the modern reconstruction of the Stoa of Attalos offer unique perspectives, helping to uncover the enduring legacy of Greek design and the diverse skills that shaped the iconic monuments of Athens.
