CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE 2
Several buildings in Los Angeles have been inspired by the ancient Greek building
architectural tradition. The Greek Theater of Epidaurus is one of the most renowned ancient
buildings. This discussion focuses on comparing and contrasting the two buildings: The Greek
Theater of Epidaurus and Getty Villa in Malibu. The discussion highlights the functions of these
buildings, their users, their architecture and organization.
Both the Greek Theater of Epidaurus and Getty Villa in Malibu have striking similarities.
Both buildings are open to the public. The public can view arts in Getty Villa and attend
performances in Greek Theater of Epidaurus. Getty Villa has been designed in such a way that
the public who visits feels the traditional world live (Cooper, 2016). The Greek Theater of
Epidaurus has two divisions: one for the public (citizens) and the other for authorities.
However, there are glaring differences between the two buildings. The Greek Theater of
Epidaurus is used for hosting performances. Performances such as the Epidaurus Festival are
held in this building every summer. Moreover, the building is used for business purposes. On the
other hand, Getty Villa serves as a museum as it hosts statutes and other art collections.
Moreover, Getty Villa Museum, according to the Getty Villa Trust (2011), is used for lectures,
performances, educational events, and family activities as well.
The Greek Theater of Epidaurus emerged as a result of people coming to get healing
from local priests. The priests, as a result of prosperity, built sophisticated facilities as the area
attracted many people (Diloumbaka, 2016). Getty Villa emerged from Paul Getty’s love for arts.
He bought a sixty four-acre piece of land in Malibu where he stored his art collection. More
often, Getty opened his home for visitors to view his collections. The Malibu museum closed
down which opened again as Getty Villa.
