Rythm

1) Rythm is the balanced progression of a sensitive preception, for example, a groove that is constantly repeated, or a series of colums in a temple.

2) Groove. Repetition. Balance.

3) To create a rythm in a architectural way, usually colums, structural elemets, are used to make the observant feel the building is walking beside him.



The parthenon is the perfect example of the using of rythm in architecture. The way the greeks used the columns to make rythm speaks for itself. The search for perfection and beutyness was the fuel of all of their actions. In architecture, perfection was translated into symetry. The way for them to express it with the rythm was to make repetitive gestures along the building. One model regularly placed in the construction.
