The Parthenon
When I wanted to buy a 3d model of the Parthenon for a project, I was amazed at the total lack of correct proportions of the offered 3d models. So then I did some research myself and built a model.
The Parthenon is a Greek Temple still standing on the Acroplis in Athens. It was build between 447 and 432 BC.
It is seen as the most specific example for the Doric order. The model is without the Parthenon sculptures. Although there are some few ornaments as a Griffin, a Anthemion, a lions head and a Antefix.
Various sources have been consulted to create the most accurate model possible.
