Panathenaic Way

Through the Architectural form of a structure, Architect can channel the movement of people through purposeful routes of movement & points of pause , influencing the nature of their responses…

One of the brilliant examples of a human channel of movement is the Panathenaic procession in ancient Greece.

Panathenaic is the ancient city festivals of Greeks…specially Athletics

It occur every year - & in an especially rich manner every four years – as a major event in civic life of Athens.

This procession took place along a clearly marked route extending from the Dipylon Gate at the city wall across Athens & up the slopes of Acropolis to the culminating point, the statue of goddess Athena.

Panathenaic Procession

This route was used by the citizens of Athens every day of their lives for a multiplicity of purposes.

Its use must always have raised association with the brilliant & beautiful procession all of them had witnessed since childhood.

From the time of its first beginning in archaic days, the panathenaic procession & the sensations of those taking part in it gave the central theme to the development of Athens.

There was the simplicity of the single central movement system through the city..there was the understanding of value of memory & of response to forms.

Panathenaic procession was the central organizing force in the Architectural & Planning development of Athens….

Panathenaic way was far more than a city street.

It continued diagonally across the originally amorphous space of the agora or market place, & on top the slopes of the Acropolis through the Propylaea to the statue of Athena.

It served both as the sacred way & also as the main street of Athens.

It was the central spine along which the principal mercantile, industrial, & political activities which made up life of city…

Hippodamus & Miletus….In the later part of 5th century B.C., Hippodamus, an architect from Miletus, advocated an outstanding theory in the history of town planning by applying GRID IRON pattern of road layout.

This system was introduced to rebuilt the Greek cities which were destructed by the Persian invasion.

For laying out the perpendicular roads, individual buildings were made the common denominator & the functions of the buildings were given importance.

The rough topography of Greek cities lead to creation of steps on the roads, which did not create much problems as most of the movement were on foot..
