What is Greek column style?
There are four different types of Greek columns. They are called: Ionic, Doric, Corinthian. The Doric is just a tall plain pillar with a squared top and bottom. The Ionic is a fancier type of Doric, but instead of a squared top, it has spiraled corners. Lastly, the Corinthian is WAY fancier than any other. It has pedal like shapes all around it.

What is the difference between Baroque and Renaissance churches?
Renaissance architecture is influenced by the writings of the Roman architect Vitruvius using the rules and outward forms of Roman architecture, such as vaults, domes, arches, pilasters, columns and the roman orders: Tuscan, Ionic, Doric, Corinthian, and Composite, but added the Giant Order where the columns may span more than one level of a bulding.. Renaissance buildings are regular, structured and impressive in intent. They often use scrollwork in the ornamentation. Most churches are domed. Baroque architecture is derived from and has similarities with Renaissance architecture, such as domes, columns and other classical architectural elements. However, with the Baroque, the intention was to create a strong sense of vitality and attraction. It has drama and theatrical features, concave and convex wall forms, striking lighting effects, and a sense of movement. Baroque churches are often oval in plan, and do not usually have any columns separating the nave (& the priests) from the aisles (& the people). Large windows are usually rectangular, and smaller windows are circular, semi-circular or oval. Baroque churches can be richly decorated and the features of the building are used with more freedom than in the Renaissance.
Three types of column in Greece?
The Greeks have different types of columns for different types of places. Doric columns were the shortest and plainest, Ionic columns were slightly fancier and taller than Doric columns, and Corinthian columns were the most elaborate and tallest.
Why were Corinthian columns not used as often as the Doric or the Ionic columns?
Because they required much more time and effort with the more elaborate designs involved than Ionic or Doric which are simpler.

What are Greek columns like?
They were tall stone columns used to support buildings. They were used for support, so although the Greeks made every effort to make then appear to be straight, they were sometimes slightly tilted for best support. There were three main styles of Greek columns.Doric columns: Tall simple columns. The had round tops and no bases. Decoration was a minimum, and usually consisted of fluted lines running lengthwise down the column, if there was any decoration at all.Ionic columns: These were slighty dressier, and often had scrollwork at the top and or bottom of the column. Sometimes the entire column was carved out to be a statue of a god, goddess, or hero. When they were not carved into characters, they were more heavily fluted than the Doric columns.Corinthean columns: These were very eleaberate and elegant columns. They were slender compared to the Doric and Ionic columns, and the detail work was more intricate and leafy. The tops and bases were heavily decorated. The Temple of Zues is noted for its use of this type of column.

What is the Difference between byzantine architecture and roman architecture?
Early Christian Architecture was influenced a lot by Ancient Roman Architecture, which is characterized by repitition of arches. In this time, they actually converted old Roman buildings into religious structures, like the basilicas. On the other hand, Byzantine Architecture was inspired by Moorish Architecture because of the spread of Islam during that time. It is characterized by the addition of pointed elements, particularly in the dome. They introduce the onion dome, addition of pinnacles, turretts(not sure of the spelling), colorful mosaic murals, and introduction of colored buildings. Early Christian architecture and early Byzantine architecture are one and the same, as the Byzantine (or Romans as they called themselves) were in fact the early christians. The Moors were not invented at the time. The Mosque archetype in Ottoman architecture (which in popular terms counts as "Moorish"), as well as the Rock Mosque in Jerusalem, draw partly their architectural language from the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, which at the time of erection was the largest church of Christianity.
