What I liked the most, where how you showed a building without the collums. Modern architecs allways complain about the collums, so it's nice to be able to show them that the collums themselves aren't needed, as long as the proporsions are there

Modern architect here, proportions and construction is the point.

I've ever heard an architect "complain" about colmns....what a ridiculous comment.

[@St.Basil.]

I'm pretty sure Palladio was inspired by triumphal arches, when he (re)invented what we call palladian window, I almost sure proportions are going to be the same if you measure them.

I would like to see all the orders the same height, then the varying diameters would reflect the true strength or "fatness" of each. It seems that traditionally depicting the orders go your way but that leaves a question in my mind. Doricis meant to be "masculine", that is sturdy , strong, muscular, and Corinthian and Ionic especially "feminine" - tall, slender, delicate. But drawn as they have been this is not immediately obvious.

Yes, I have thought about that many times. I will do a video about that soon :)

Lookup Understanding Classical Proportions by ThisIsCarpentry. It shows proportions based on the same column height.

Once you learn a bit about classical architecture you'll never see the world the same way again. Almost EVERY building in the west has some influence from a least an element of it. Even gothic and romanesque have classical influences. That being said, it makes viewing it in its purest form (classical temple) really fascinating.

[@SebastianvonThaden]

Yes, that is right, even gothic architecture somehow derived from the hellenistic greek temple !
