Page "Doric order" Paragraph 5

Changing to stone cubes instead of wooden beams required full support of the architrave load at the last column.

At the first temples the final triglyph was moved ( illustration, right: II.

), still terminating the sequence, but leaving a gap disturbing the regular order.

Even worse, the last triglyph was not centered with the corresponding column.

That “ archaic ” manner was not regarded as a harmonious design.

The resulting problem is called The doric corner conflict.

Another approach was to apply a broader corner triglyph ( III.

) but was not really satisfying.
