Both the Ionic and Corinthian orders became highly popular and surpassed their Doric counterpart by continuing into the Roman period (Gates , ). Before the Corinthian order however, the Ionic order started to become well-established by BC (Lawrence , ). It emerged from Asia Minor and spread to mainland. The Corinthian was raised to the rank of an order by the 1st-century-bc Roman writer and architect Vitruvius. The Romans adopted the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders and modified them to produce the Tuscan order, which is a simplified form of the Doric, and the Composite order, which is a combination of the Ionic and Corinthian orders.

The next order to be developed by the Greeks was the Ionic (see Figure 3). It is called Ionic because it developed in the Ionian islands in the 6th century B.C.

Temples and the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian Orders Usually religion rites were held outside the temple in front of the temple at an altar. With a few exceptions (for example temple to Apollo on Delos) most temples face east as the priests faced the direction of the rising sun when making offerings to the gods.
The book tackles the orders in detail, including the five orders, Tuscan order, Tuscan Doric and entablature, Tuscan base and pedestal, Doric order, Doric base and pedestal, Ionic order and volute, Ionic capital and entablature, Ionic base and pedestal, and the Corinthian order. Three Greek columns; Ionic, Corinthian and Doric made up of the capital, shaft and base.
Of the three columns found in Greece, Doric columns are the simplest. They have a capital (the top, or crown) made of a circle topped by a square. The shaft (the tall part of the column) is plain and has 20 sides. There is no base in the Doric order.
The Doric order is very plain, but powerful-looking in. A diligent search through many encyclopedias, dictionaries, books of knowledge and books specifically relating to architecture, has failed to reveal the term and this suggests that it is only used in Masonic literature, but is not conclusive.

Vitruvius starts with a symplifying indication of the Corinthian style in period 1: only the capital is different, the column shaft and its base is - according to Vitruvius - the same as in the Ionic order. The entablature can be elaborated either in Doric or in Ionic style.
Even though the Corinthian style was a greek invention, it became more popular in Rome for its showy design. Interesting Fact. In classical architecture, a structure with multiple storeys used multiple orders of columns. Doric columns occupied the first storey, followed by the Ionic in the second storey, and the Corinthian in the third storey.
The other members which are placed above the columns, are, for Corinthian columns, composed either of the Doric proportions or according to the Ionic usages; for the Corinthian order never had any scheme peculiar to itself for its cornices or other ornaments, but may have mutules in the coronae and guttae on the architraves according to the triglyph system of the Doric style, or, according.
For example, the classic dimensions of column height vary by order and are calculated as a ratio between the diameter of the shaft’s base and the height of the column, a Tuscan column being seven diameters high, a Doric column eight, an Ionic column nine, and the Corinthian and Composite columns slenderer still at ten diameters high.
We are to suppose, therefore, that it was only for temples that the other orders, Ionic and Corinthian, were considered superior to Doric, and that it was this belief that led to the decline and eventual abandoning of the Doric order.

The peripteral order is a conventional Doric, but internally it contains this Ionic order with massive bell-like bases and the volutes tightly spaced, connected with a pleasing humped curve under a solid square abacus.
Moreover, a single axial column terminating the internal vista has a capital which is clearly of Corinthian (or Composite) form.The Ionic Order is taller and more slender than the Doric. Its capitals are in the form of volutes (scroll shapes), and its architrave is usually a continuous frieze. The Corinthian Order is the tallest and most elaborate of the three, featuring a bell-shaped capital from which leaves emerge.
