“…to carry out revisions and be of guidance for the craftsmen during construction 263 . State administrations would need these drawings to ultimately establish taxation on the property and to register the land 264 . With the introduction of complex arched systems, vaults and domes challenging plans were needed and to be achieved drawings were an indispensable apparatus in Imperial Roman architectural design.…”

“…Similar themes come out from papers in more general collective works (Zambas et al 2016;Frielinghaus and Schattner 2018;Sapirstein and Scahill 2020). Construction diagrams etched into ancient stones reveal an ad hoc approach to construction (Corso 2018;Capelle 2020), rather than the execution of a detailed blueprint from the architect's drafting table. New research has investigated how engineering challenges were solved on site, such as at the Eupalinos tunnel (Zambas 2016(Zambas -2017, or the geophysical survey and excavations into the foundation platform for the Athena temple at Poseidonia (Ammerman 2020).…”

The discipline of Greek architecture has been changing rapidly since the time of a major review published in 2011. The current study examines research published since 2012 about the prehistoric through to the Hellenistic eras in mainland Greece and the Aegean, along with the expansion of Greek architectural systems throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea in the first millennium BC. A narrative discussing close to 300 works from recent years is bolstered by a quantitative analysis of the subjects treated in nearly 1,000 studies from the previous decade. Traditional foci of the discipline, such as palaces and sanctuaries, are being approached in new and methodologically sophisticated manners. A notable rise in the scrutiny of material remains suggests diverse new interests in planning and construction, from the scale of an individual architectural member up to a territorial defence network. The integration of recent digital and scientific methods has been remarkable, including widespread adoption of 3D recording and modelling, remote sensing, and compositional analysis. Certain architectural types – in particular fortifications, harbours, and urban planning – have received a great deal more attention than in past decades.
