How is rhythm expressed in different architectural styles?
===There are many types of rhythm which are of special importance in buildings. First, there is the repetition of shapes: windows, doors, columns, wall areas, arches, and the like. Second, there is the repetition of dimensions, such as the dimensions between supports or those of bay spacing. A third and more complex type of rhythm is based on the repetition of differences. In this rhythmical series, the ascending and descending progressions are built up from small to large and to small again. But when the large is in the center, you experience a sense of swelling to an important element and diminishing to a small one progressing from a quiet beginning to a climax and then relaxing again. ===

===The Parthenon is a classical architectonic structure in wich the rhythm is expressed by the repetition of certain elements. For example, there is a repetion of shapes, like in the columns (that belong to the greek Doric order) and the elements located on the frieze of the facade (like the reliefs on the metopes). There is a repetition of dimensions too that can be seen in the bay spacing between the columns that is repeated through all the building .===
