Week 9 Response

The Palaces Garnier is a opera house located in Paris which is a combination of Neo Baroque and Beaux-Arts style building. The Palace Garnier resembles the Pantheon in Rome. In comparison they both feature Corinthian capitals and both are symetrical however the Pantheon was a much simpler look and the columns followed the Doric order. The building itself is very intimidating and features many sculptural elements along with many ornamental elements. The symmetry and arcuation give it a classical look.
