Apteral is an architectural term used to describe buildings that do not have columns along their sides. It comes from ancient Greek architecture. While some temples have columns on all sides (peripherals), apteral buildings only have them at the front or not at all. This design makes the structure simpler and more compact. It is often used for practical reasons, like saving space or reducing construction costs. In modern times, architects may use apteral forms to create clean, minimalist buildings that still show a connection to classical architecture. Though less decorative, apteral buildings reflect the beauty of simplicity and functional design.
