Architrave

the other. The ground floor features three bays with pairs of fluted columns with capitals of the simplest Doric order, with a classical pediment. The Doric capital is adorned with the echinus and the abacus. The Doric entablature is simple, the architrave is the lowest portion, and is divided into the guttae and the taenia, from bottom to top. The frieze features triglyphs, two vertical grooves in the center and half grooves at the edges, separated by metopes, which

vertical dentils. Below the dentils is the frieze with the name of the building, “Shadek - Fackenthal Library” centered and incuse. Within the architrave there is a raised molding delineating the truncated architrave from the frieze. The frieze rests on a disproportionately small architrave, about ⅓ as large as the ideal Doric structure. The architrave is solely composed of two fasciae. Below the fasciae is a Doric style abacus that is disproportionately wide and extends beyond the echinus. Below

The Tuscan columns, for example, are fully covered in polished stainless steel and their moldings and curves have been abstracted to a minimum of flat, conic and cylindrical shapes, striping away the entasis (5). The Tuscan architrave carries square panels of water jets which Moore's memoirs refer to as "wetopes" (6). The horizontal molding bounding the echinus of several stainless steel capitals were made of rings of neon lights. The Doric colonnade has no physical shafts, only

support for the columns. The columns, many of which have stood the test of time, varied in style depending on their order. The columns acted as support for the entablature. An entablature was a horizontal structure made up of an architrave, frieze, and cornice. The architrave was the horizontal band that rested atop the capitals. The frieze was also a horizontal band, but with a design. Lastly, the cornice was the molding at the uppermost part of the

known as post-and-lintel, was one of the most important systematic principles used by ancient Greek architects. The way the structures were designed was by two vertical columns or posts holding up an horizontal architrave. Architects used this technique to support the weight of the architrave above openings. The trabeated system, not only used in ancient Greece, was also seen throughout prehistoric architecture as far back as the stone age. Stonehenge, assumed to be finished in 1500 B.C., is one of

Buddhas," "Mara" temptation, "Shaddanta-Jataka," and the "Vessantara Jataka.” The bas-relief provides masterly crafted details on the Indian life, as furniture, household, hairstyles, musical instruments, ornaments, etc. For instance, people on the architrave are all in the same hairstyle, having scarf on their head. There are also

The Ohio statehouse had multiple people contribute to its construction; there were numerous architects and several others. In 1838 there was a design competition held by the government to decide how the building would be built. Many entries were received from the public around the county, and most were either architects or artists. The winner was Henry Walter from Cincinnati while second place went to Martin E. Thompson from New York and third place went to Thomas Cole who was a landscape painter

appropriated for the building of this church. The first and foremost noticeable feature would be the columns, architrave, and pediment. The columns are classic ionic columns, starting from the ornate base and leading up to the capital, all the elements of the classical ionic columns are present, creating an almost life-like appearance to the columns as they grow and support the architrave, a characteristic that can be traced back to Egyptian columns in temples and funerary buildings. Further, the

arris. The Doric capital consists of two parts, the round echinus, and above it, the square abacus. The capitals form the transition from the column shaft to the entablature. The entablature consists of three main parts—the architrave, the frieze, and the cornice. The architrave rests on the columns and left plain in the Doric style. The frieze, in which the triglyphs alternate with the metopes. The cornice, which forms the eaves along the sides of the building, and at the short ends, the base for

seldom used in the Greek world, but often seen on Roman temples. The capital is very elaborate and decorated with acanthus leaves. On the architrave, as in Ionic temples, there is a continuous frieze where the triglyphs and metopes would be on a Doric temple. At the top of the columns, on the capital, there's a stone carving of acanthus leaves, under the architrave."(Greek Architecture Influences America's Architecture. Ann Wesley, n.d.
