Text Appearing Before Image:
ulus high, and is crowned by afillet of 1 of its height. Under every triglyph is a little inclined fillet havingpendent bell-shaped drops. (Guttae.) The frieze is 11 moduli high and is adorned with metopeand triglyph. The metopes are always square, and may beornamented with heads of animals, coats-of-arms, trophiesof war, or jnay have symbols explaining the use for whichthe building is designed. The triglyph is 1 modulus wide,and is divided by 2 flutings. In designing the frieze of theDoric Order, whatever license is taken with the triglyphand metope, the centers of triglyph and column must be inline with each other. The height of the cornice is mod-uli, and it projects 2 moduli. The mouldings will be under-stood from the illustrations. The plan of the under side(Soffit) of the projecting cornice is given to show Vignolasmethod of ornamenting that portion of the edifice ; but theornamentation is not fixed by rigid rule, but rather isadorned according to the fancy of the architect. \ \
Text Appearing After Image:
PLATE IX. THE DORIC CAPITAL AND ENTABLATURE.Second Style. For this modification of the Doric Order, Yignola usedmany fragments from ancient Roman architecture. The differences between this and the first style are in thecapital, architrave, and cornice. In the place of the threelittle fillets of the first capital we have an ornamented bead.The convex moulding is also ornamented. The architravehas the same height and ^ modulus projection. It is dividedinto two bands, and is ornamented at the top by a filletwhich is -1- modulus high. The ornamentation of the metope only of the frieze isdifferent. The upper moulding.of the cornice is changedfrom a concave to an ogee, and in place of the dentils, orteeth, we have the modillions, or brackets, which must beplaced in line with the triglyphs.
