Abstract
This study employs the grid method to examine the design procedure used in the Temple of Parthenon (built 447-432 B.C). The grid method is a new point of view : it has recently been applied in analyzing the design by J. J. Coulton, R. Tobin and K. Horiuchi. This study started by regarding the grid in round number 15 doric feet proposed by Horiuchi as a 1st plan grid (7×15 units) and the grid in intercolumnar units proposed by Coulton as a 2nd plan grid (8×18 units, each unit measures 13 1/8 doric feet). Both grids were also employed to analyze the facade design.
