The orders as classical landscape is a brilliant take.

What is the difference between fillets, taenia and fascia?

[@mxkrueger]

1. Fillet: Fillets are commonly used to separate or connect other molding elements, such as between the flutes of a column or between larger moldings like a cyma and an ovolo. They provide a visual break and can highlight the adjoining elements. 2. Taenia: In a Doric entablature, the taenia is the band that runs along the top of the architrave, just below the frieze. It is often located above the guttae, which are small, droplet-like projections that hang from the underside of the taenia. 3. Fascia: Fascia is often part of the entablature in classical architecture. It can be found in the architrave (the lowest part of the entablature), where it is divided into several horizontal bands or fasciae.

*Where's the Davidic order*

[@rubenpietermark7923]

The what?

[@alhesiad]

I can think of solomonic columns, but I have never heard of a davidic order.

[@mansardmanor3869]

Interesting that you associated the *Orders* to god's Yet no one discussed the temple of the city of *Petra* in the Jordan area Surely this architectural style was the first order By the humongous scale this was not made for the average man Giants (god's of old) built and occupied it Yet all orders are a result of this style What say you 🤔

[@alhesiad]

The theme of "Sex/Vice" along a feminine personification for the composite order could be badly received in this day and age. I suggest to reframe its theme as "Opulence".

Let them get offended

[@calvinjackson8110]

I agree. It makes no sense for people be so sensitive to something so trivial. Why have we become like you have to walk on egshells when we talk to each other. These times can make us be so stupid in some things.
