This is an example of classic architectural patterns in our modern life. The White House, as seen above, has at least one aspect of classic architecture- the four columns at the entrance. The columns were first used by the Greek and the Romans. The columns served as a weight-distributor. The column would hold up the surplus weight of the building. Also, the small windows were/are used in Greece. The Greece used these so the heat would stay inside the building, especially when it was cold outside. Another aspect is color. The Greeks used white to reflect the heat of the sun, and we can see this pattern in the color of the White House.
