What are some structures that use Greek/roman architecture?
I'm doing an educational paper showing how Greece impacted Today's architecture, Do you know of any structures using the style and Materials that Greeks used. Example (Marble, lime stone, concrete materials) But I'm looking more for what styles (Corinthian, Doric, ionic style columns) Here is a picture of the styles, do you see these styles used today? http://www.citizenarcane.com/files/2005/May/17/doric_ionic_corinthian.jpg

- Every federal building in Washington DC is an example of Greek architecture. The New York Stock Exchange is another example.
- The Romans invented concrete and the arch, so any building with concrete or any arches could be said to be an example of Roman architecture. In a more specific sense, neoclassical architecture, a style popular from the late 18th century and through much of the 19th, was based on copying Greek architectural styles. The White House The British Museum are good examples of neoclassical style buildings.
