The Doric is very easy to tell apart from the other two orders because of it's simple looking desgin and fluted or smooth columns with no base. The Doric order is the cheapest, yet strongest order with the Doric column below then Ionic and lastly Corinthian. The Doric column is used at the bottom because the Doric columns are usally really stong so the column can hold up the floors above.]]> 2021-08-25 00:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3329212/yez76u0buv986zx5/wish/1694594858 3507702 https://padlet.com/3329212/yez76u0buv986zx5/wish/1694604121 The process and/ or product of desging, planning, and building the structure.

The major features of the Ionic columns are the volutes on the column captial and the only tools you need in order with make the volutes are a straight edge, right angle, string, and compass.
