At the other extreme of ancient greek architecture, we have the στοά[0], a relatively cheap building style suitable for multiple (nonresidential) purposes — I like to think of it as the ancient equivalent of a strip mall.

I saw one of these for the first time in Mexico last year! The pillars stood out to me, makes sense it was Greek-inspired. They had a weekly farmers/flea market type thing there. It's the kind of design that only works in warmer climates.
