Whereas the neoclassical design had far reaching influence in Greek and European architecture, I am particularly interested in this topic of neoclassicism architecture featuring Ernst Ziller because it divulges not just his ingenuity but projects his strong character and philosophy. In this review section, I am concerned with evaluating Ernst Ziller’s approach to architecture and how he combined different elements informed by different art movements. Ziller designed a number of churches, public edifices, monuments and mansions while fusing the architectural elements and designs from antiquity Greece, Roman epoch and the Renaissance. To review about Ziller, I will gather information from articles, journals, books, reports and the internet about the neoclassical architecture with a focus on Athens. In particular, the paper will discuss how the architecture was used to consolidate a new form of national identify.
