greek pottery forms
Is there any visual depiction of ancient Greek architecture? What form it takes, and why?

I know that there are buildings today are the visuals, but it was the ancient Greek architecture, pottery, art, or text? In other words, how can we know what looked like ancient Greek architecture? Websites would be great to use as sources of

We know the Greek architecture, because some of they are still there and in Athens, Greece on the Acropolis. Also close to Olympus, where games were held. There is also some text in which people describes the buildings, but can not remember specific names.
