Roman Architecture

This video shows Professor Kleiner's introduction to her Roman architecture unit. She gives a great overview of what some of the ancient buildings of the time. I felt this would be helpful for getting ideas on how to build the set pieces. The script calls for a smaller temple of Venus, which has an alter in front. As well as a cottage in which the character Daemones lives. These two buildings are in the background of the set.

            However, both of these buildings are the entrances and exits of many of the actors. Therefore they need to be built so that the actors may enter and exit in believable ways. There is also a shore that is called for to be another place of entrace and exit. This will need to be thought of in the planning process. This video will hopefully help give an idea of how the buildings could look or be built.
