In this period, the temples were designed in one of the three architectural styles or orders

Answer 1

Answer:

Ancient Greek architecture devised three main "orders" or "templates": the Doric Order, the Ionic Order and the Corinthian Order. These Orders laid down a broad set of rules concerning the design and construction of temples and similar buildings.

Answer 2

An architectural order speaks about the style and the art of the land.

• The classical orders are Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.

• The Doric order is the earliest form of architecture as it depicts Mediterranean architecture.

• The Ionic order originated in Iona, Turkey. It is characterized by Volutes, scroll-like ornaments, etc.

• The Corinthian order is the latest and the most elaborate form of architecture and was employed in Greek and Rome.
