The («), Systyle placed the columns at two diameters distant;
The (J>) Diastyle sixed columns at an interval of three diameters.
The sourth was called (c) Arajostyle, and the columns were disposed with an interval of sour dia-
meters. In this intercolumniation they were obliged to make the architraves of wooden beams;
therefore, because of the disHculty of executing it in stone, and the ill appearance so great a
di siance between the columns produced, it was never approved.
The (//) Eustyle surpasTeth all others, on which account it was thus named. The intercolumni-
ation herein given is two diameters and one fourth, observing however that the middle interco-
lumniation in the sore and back fronts, was allowed three diameters, to allow a freer access to the
door way.
But the height (<?) of columns, as well as their diameters, is to be considered in intercolumnia-
tions. To the (_/") narrowest intervals are placed the molt ssender columns, and to the wider open-
ings, the tbickest and Ihortest columns : yet thesc rules have always had their exceptions ; the Ionic
and Corinthian columns having been disposed in mod works with as wide intervals as the Doric;
and this again has been placed with the narrow intervals suitable to both the former modes: when
one order is placed above another, the uppermost has its intercolumniation wider than the inferior
one. The practice, recommended by Vitruvius, is as follows.
For the araostylt'i let the height of the columns not exceed eight times its diameter. This is
applicable to the Doric.
For the diastyle and eustyle, the height os the columns is allowed eight diameters and a
half. This may iiiit the Ionic.
