The Parthenon on a 1:1 scale.

[Mike Delme]

I decided to build a replica of the Parthenon in the most realistic size and scale possible, and I'll share my progress here.

I'm an architecture student and recently I saw posts from a guy who was building a Gothic cathedral. And since I love antique architecture myself, I wanted to build a classic of it — the Parthenon. I hope I won't burn out soon.

first i'll do it in one material and in creative just to calculate the proportions, then maybe i'll build it on a server and with colour.

To start, I found an article by a Russian architectural scholar in which he described in great detail every detail and scale of the Athenian Parthenon.
Then i assumed 1 block to be equal to 1 meter - so 1 voxel of chisel = 62.5mm - this will be the margin of error.
And with this I made a rectangle corresponding to the plan of the Parthenon (30.870m x 69.512m) with axes in the centers of its sides.

p.s. looks smaller then i imagined... maybe 1 block is not equal to 1 meter, but i don't care cuz it'll make calculations much harder.
