Neoclassical, and Beaux-Arts architecture. Greek temples, normally rectangular in plan, generally had a pediment at each end, but Roman temples, and subsequent revivals, often had only one, in both cases across the whole width of the main front or facade. The rear of the typical Roman temple was a blank wall, usually without columns, but often a full pediment above. This effectively divorced the pediment from the columns beneath it in the original temple front ensemble, and thereafter it was no longer considered necessary for a pediment to be above columns. </p><p>The most famous example of the Greek scheme is the <a href="/wiki/Parthenon" title="Parthenon">Parthenon</a>, with two <a href="/wiki/Tympanum_(architecture)" title="Tympanum (architecture)">tympanums</a> filled with large groups of sculpted figures.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An extreme but very influential example of the Roman style is the <a href="/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome" title="Pantheon, Rome">Pantheon, Rome</a>, where a portico with pediment fronts a circular temple.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg/220px-Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg/330px-Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg/440px-Markttor_zu_Milet-Pergamonmuseum-2018.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3648" data-file-height="2432" /></a><figcaption>2nd-century <a href="/wiki/Market_Gate_of_Miletus" title="Market Gate of Miletus">Market Gate of Miletus</a>, Pergamon Museum, Berlin</figcaption></figure> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Rome" title="Ancient Rome">ancient Rome</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a>, and later <a href="/wiki/Revivalism_(architecture)" title="Revivalism (architecture)">architectural revivals</a>, small pediments are a non-structural element over <a href="/wiki/Window" title="Window">windows</a>, <a href="/wiki/Door" title="Door">doors</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Aedicula" title="Aedicula">aediculae</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> protecting windows and openings from rain, as well as being decorative.

Broken and open pediments are used in a way that is often described as "baroque". The large 2nd-century <a href="/wiki/Market_Gate_of_Miletus" title="Market Gate of Miletus">Market Gate of Miletus</a>, now reconstructed in the <a href="/wiki/Pergamon_Museum" title="Pergamon Museum">Pergamon Museum</a> in <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a>, has a pediment that retreats in the centre, so appears both broken and open, a feature also seen at the <a href="/wiki/Al-Khazneh" title="Al-Khazneh">Al-Khazneh</a> (so-called "Treasury") tomb at <a href="/wiki/Petra" title="Petra">Petra</a> in modern <a href="/wiki/Jordan" title="Jordan">Jordan</a>.

There are two faces to each pediment, both carved, with one lying parallel to the wall of the monument, and the other at right angles to that. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Arch_of_Augustus_(Rimini)" title="Arch of Augustus (Rimini)">Arch of Augustus</a> in <a href="/wiki/Rimini" title="Rimini">Rimini</a>, Italy (27 BC), an early imperial monument, suggests that at this stage provincial Roman architects were not well practiced in the classical vocabulary; the base of the pediment ends close to, but not over, the capitals of the columns. Here the whole temple front is decoration applied to a very solid wall, but the lack of respect for the conventions of Greek <a href="/wiki/Post_and_lintel" title="Post and lintel">trabeated</a>

<p>When classical-style low triangular pediments returned in <a href="/wiki/Italian_Renaissance_architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian Renaissance architecture">Italian Renaissance

Here the cornice comes out and then retreats back, forming the top of <a href="/wiki/Pilaster" title="Pilaster">pilasters</a> with no capitals, a very unclassical note, which was to become much used. </p><p>In most of these Alberti followed classical precedent by having the pediment occupy the whole width of the facade, or at least that part that projects outwards. Santa Maria Novella and <a href="/wiki/Sant%27Agostino,_Rome" title="Sant'Agostino, Rome">Sant'Agostino, Rome</a> (1483, by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Giacomo_di_Pietrasanta&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Giacomo di Pietrasanta (page does not exist)">Giacomo di Pietrasanta</a>, perhaps designed by Alberti) were early examples of what was to become a very common scheme, where the pediment at the top of the facade was much less wide, forming a third zone above a middle zone that transitioned the width from that of the bottom. The giant curving <a href="/wiki/Volute" title="Volute">volute</a> or <a href="/wiki/Scroll_(art)" title="Scroll (art)">scroll</a> used at the sides of the middle zone at Sant'Agostino was to be a very common feature over the next two centuries.

title="Modernism">Modernism</a> (the <a href="/wiki/Status_quo" title="Status quo">status quo</a> after WW2), promoted the inclusion of elements of historic styles in new designs. An early text questioning Modernism was by architect <a href="/wiki/Robert_Venturi" title="Robert Venturi">Robert Venturi</a>, <i>Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture</i> (1966), in which he recommended a revival of the 'presence of the past' in architectural design. He tried to include in his own buildings qualities that he described as 'inclusion, inconsistency, compromise, accommodation, adaptation, superadjacency, equivalence, multiple focus, juxtaposition, or good and bad space.'<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Venturi encouraged 'quotation', which means reusing elements of the past in new designs. Part manifesto, part architectural scrapbook accumulated over the previous decade, the book represented the vision for a new generation of architects and designers who had grown up with Modernism but who felt increasingly constrained by its perceived rigidities. Multiple Postmodern architects and designers put simplified reinterpretations of the pediment found in Classical decoration at the top of their creations. As with other elements and ornaments taken from styles of the pre-Modern past, they were in most cases highly simplified. Especially when it comes to office architecture, Postmodernism was only skin deep; the underlying structure was usually very similar, if not identical, to that of Modernist buildings.<sup
