How the rhythm is expressed in different architectural styles?

The rhythm is expressed in different architectural styles primarily for repetition of shapes; this is the most common in the oldest styles, which also were very symmetrical. Now a days, in the most recent styles is used the repetition of dimensions, that let the architect stay away from the symmetric (which is consider as a bad thing right now) and some times, a more complicated technique, which is the repetition of differences that totally drift apart from the equal.

The Parthenon belongs to the Greek style. The rhythm is creating by the repetition of shapes, in this case, columns, which are units equally spaced without a defined beginning or a defined end. This is an open rhythm, which can actually be disturbing, but the confusion disappears because the start and end is closed by the effect of perspective.
