Talk:Ionic order

Comments
This article is missing a vital picture, namely an overview shot of a classical Ionic temple. It has shorter range pictures, but none showing a building as a whole. Zzthex 06:46, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Ionic is a mode, as in music the key of E flat is a mode in which any form can be written. There could be an overall illustration of an Ionic Greek temple or an Ionic public library in Iowa. But, overall, they wouldn't look very much different from a Doric temple or a Doric library. It's in the details and the rhythms that Ionic can be recognized. --Wetman 08:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Someone who's not been reading about classical architecture deleted the following caption as "weird": Bookish, dependable and cultured: Ionic capitals on a neoclassical Cincinnati life insurance headquarters. Do we need a treatise on the connotations given to the orders? Or can familiar commonplaces pass? --Wetman 05:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to keep it, I think it should be rewritten since it sounds rather casual, like a caption in a magazine. 'Bookish', for instance, is a word I have never seen in a formal context. Also, you reverted my more important image rearrangement. At least in my browser (Firefox), there is a good deal of text overlap and an ugly space. In IE 7, there is no overlap, but nearly as much space. (note: Please do not insult my level of education) --Vlmastra 01:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Can this phrase be reworded by someone... I'm confused if the "added by 16th century etc refers to both.. i thought the Romans were responsible for the Tuscan style? (There are two lesser orders, the stocky Tuscan order and the rich variant of Corinthian, the Composite order, added by 16th century Italian architectural theory and practice.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodders147 (talk • contribs) 11:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
