The classic hypostyle rooms have left us a great architectural legacy, not only because of their grandeur and their refined aesthetic, but because of the coherence of each space with the function or use it was destined. Demonstrating this organic unit, this interaction between the aesthetic and the utilitarian from the beginning of architecture, is the objective we have proposed in this article. Historians and archaeologists scholars of the subject, such as D. S. Robertson, J. J. Pollit or J. Pijoan, have provided us with a wide theoretical framework, through which has been possible to examine the relationships between design and function of classical hypostyle rooms. Our analysis we do it based on the Funerary Complex of Zoser, in Egypt, in the III millennium a. C., passing through the Achaménida Persia and reaching Hellenistic Greece.
