ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OF ANGKOR WAT

Angkor Wat is the prime example of the classical style of Khmer architecture—the Angkor Wat style—to which it has given its name. By the 12th century Khmer architects had become skilled and confident in the use of sandstone (rather than brick or laterite) as the main building material. Most of the visible areas are of sandstone blocks, while laterite was used for the outer wall and for hidden structural parts. The binding agent used to join the blocks is yet to be identified, although natural resins or slaked lime have been suggested

Angkor Wat has drawn praise above all for the harmony of its design, which has been compared to the architecture of ancient Greece or Rome. According to Maurice Glaize, a mid-20th-century conservator of Angkor, the temple "attains a classic perfection by the restrained monumentality of its finely balanced elements and the precise arrangement of its proportions. It is a work of power, unity and style

Architecturally, the elements characteristic of the style include: the ogival, redented towers shaped like lotus buds; half-galleries to broaden passageways; axial galleries connecting enclosures; and the cruciform terraces which appear along the main axis of the temple. Typical decorative elements are devatas (or apsaras), bas-reliefs, and on pediments extensive garlands and narrative scenes. The statuary of Angkor Wat is considered conservative, being more static and less graceful than earlier work.Other elements of the design have been destroyed by looting and the passage of time, including gilded stucco on the towers, gilding on some figures on the bas-reliefs, and wooden ceiling panels and doors.

The Angkor Wat style was followed by that of the Bayon period, in which quality was often sacrificed to quantity.Other temples in the style are Banteay Samré, Thommanon, Chao Say Tevoda and the early temples of Preah Pithu at Angkor; outside Angkor, Beng Mealea and parts of Phanom Rung and Phimai.

ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΟ ΣΤΥΛ ΤΟΥ ANGKOR WAT

Το Angkor Wat είναι το απόγειο του κλασσικού ύφους της khmer αρχιτεκτονικής -το Angkor Wat στυλ- στο οποίο έχει δώσει το όνομά της. Μέχρι το 12ο αιώνα οι khmer αρχιτέκτονες είχαν εξειδικευτεί και απέκτησαν εμπειρία στη χρήση του ψαμμίτη (παρά στο τούβλο ή λατερίτη) ως κύριο οικοδομικό υλικό. Οι περισσότερες από τις ορατές περιοχές είναι από κυβόλιθους ψαμμίτη, ενώ ο λατερίτης χρησιμοποιήθηκε στους εξωτερικούς τοίχους και για τα κρυμμένα δομικά μέρη.Χρησιμοποιήθηκε εσωτερική σύνδεση για να συνδέσει τα μπλόκς αν και έχει υποστηριχθεί ότι χρησιμοποιήθηκαν φυσικές ρητίνες ή σβησμένος ασβέστης.

Το Angkor Wat έχει επαινεθεί απ΄ όλους για την αρμονία του σχεδίου του, το οποίο έχει συγκριθεί με την αρχιτεκτονική της αρχαίας Ελλάδας ή της Ρώμης. Σύμφωνα με το Maurice Glaize, συντηρητή στα μέσα του 20ού αιώνα του Angkor, ο ναός "αποκτά μια κλασική τελειότητα από τη μνημειώδη ισορροπία των λεπτών στοιχείων του και την ακριβή ρύθμιση των αναλογιών του΄΄. Είναι μια εργασία της δύναμης, της ενότητας και του ύφους.

Αρχιτεκτονικώς,τα χαρακτηριστικά στοιχεία του στύλ περιλαμβάνουν : καμπύλες,πύργους που διαμορφώθηκαν όπως οι ανθισμένοι λωτοί, μισές στοές για να διευρύνουν τα περάσματα, αξονικές στοές που συνδέουν τον περίβολο και σταυροειδή πεζούλια που εμφανίζονται κατά μήκος του κύριου άξονα του ναού. Τα χαρακτηριστικά διακοσμητικά στοιχεία είναι devatas, πνεύματα φυλάκων, (ή apsaras), ανάγλυφα, και εκτενείς γιρλάντες στα αετώμάτα και αφηγηματικές σκηνές. Η αγαλματοποιία στο Angkor Wat θεωρείται συντηρητική, όντας περισσότερο στατική και λιγότερο χαριτωμένη από προηγούμενες εργασίες. Άλλα στοιχεία από τα σχέεδια έχουν καταστραφεί από τη λεηλασία και το πέρασμα του χρόνου, συμπεριλαμβανομένου των επιχρυσωμένων γύψινων στους πύργους, σε μερικά ανάγλυφα , και ξύλινες οροφές και πόρτες.

Το στυλ Angkor Wat ακολουθήθηκε μέχρι με αυτό της περιόδου Bayon, στην οποία η ποιότητα θυσιάστηκε συχνά στους ναούς για την ποσότητα.

Hello Danos,
Sharp fine details in the impressive architecture of Angkor!
The lake is calm like a mirror and allows for true reflections...
A well balanced composition!

Hallo Danos,

In spite of the gray sky, we get a fantastic picture to see.
Excellent mirror image with the temple and the palmtrees.
Nice composition and lovely presentation.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Danos,
You were two weeks later here than i was, how strange. The light you caught here is also complete different than in my images. There is a lot of yellow toning here and i miss the blue sky, did you had bad weather, or is it a more creative touch to this view where we all stand?
Your reflection is superb, like a mirror. When i was there there was some wind so i did not get that, glad you had had because it makes taking pictures from this place very interesting. The top from the temple is almost touching the edge, bit more space there would be perfect.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

hello Danos

The perfect calm water gives you a good mirror effect. Hazy sky and the color tone seems yellow. For reflection, the tip of temple touches your border, or perhaps less sky to handle that. You have done a great pov to get such a shot.

Η συμμετρία είναι εκπληκτική! Την συγκεκριμένη εικόνα την έχω δει επανειλημμένως στο TrekEarth και είναι ομολογουμένως πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα. Το νερό λειτουργεί ως ένας τέλειος καθρέπτης!

Unusual colors for that so-many-times-shot place. And then, you find originality and that's great for that subject.
And, it's perfectly compose, especially with the reflection/symmetry (even if you cut the top of the biggest temple).
Stéphane

Yasu Danos,
Wonderful shot with superb colors and superb reflections.Superb symmetry. The sharpness and details look absolutely wonderful.
Se xereto. Salvator.

Hey Danos,

Expertly done. Lovet the reflections and the shadow-work. A beautiful scene, that you have captured beautifully. Kind of envy you.:)

See you.

You chose a classic POV as all visiters to this magnificent temple have to have this view to take away. What gives this the edge is the fantastic reflections you were able to capture. Not easy to manage the strong light but you have achieved an excellent image.

Hello Danos,
at first sight I did not like the picture due to the pale colours and the conventional composition.
Observing it closer I have changed my opinion. You write about the harmony of the complex and the best approach to make it perceptible is even this symmetric composition making skilfully use of the superb reflection. And yes, may be the moderate colours fit better to an abandoned masterwork of ancient architecture - they inspire to think over rather than merely admire.
Best whishes

Kalimera Danos,
that grey background lead the eye to put more attention on the reflection, great clarity and sharpness and the format makes it to a real line. The reflection is a bit softer in the colous which works very well here.

Hi Danos,
my admiración Danos!!you present to us an image of a fantastic quality, in a magnificent POV where we can estimate such a peculiar architecture full of details.
Excellent very natural and unified colors. The reflections on the waters are impressive, it looks like a mirror that duplicates the reality!!

Happy weekend! Salut,

Hi Danos
Nice capture. Great details and symmetry.

Danos,
it seems that sooner or later we all at TE have to get to this place and have or own impressions. A very classic view that you're presenting us here and yet a view that I would be proud of having in my own collection. I guess that I will have to wait many other years to fulfill this dream. In the meantime I dream on my screen by looking into shots like yours.
Wasn't there the possibility to lower a little bit your camera to have more space between the reflection and the frame?

Hi Danos,

your friend must be very dear to you, cause this dedication is simply stunning! It looks unreal with its perfect reflections like a movie scene for structures from other planet, other civilisations. But no, this beauty exists right here on earth. :). What can I say about this one otherwise then pure perfection. It is simply perfect in all aspects: colour harmony, image balance, composition and motive.

The place is teeming with tourists as we see. The reflection is just brilliant, a perfect mirror. The sky is a bit bland, typically Asian..I like the framing with the two tall palm tees on either side. Excellent Danos!

Very nice reflections in this shot producing an attractive symmetry. I would have perhaps left a little space at the bottom of the shot, but great work nonetheless.
