Greek architecture is predominantly known for and saluted by the world today for its unique gift of "orders". literally, an order means a column with a base(optional) and an entablature- the crown or roof which rests on the columns. the Greeks developed three kinds of orders namely Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, which form the base of development of column-beam structures and trabeated style of architecture. today also all buildings in the world standing on column-beam structures owe to the Greek architecture for its roots and basic ideaology and hence, this style of architecture remains well alive and respected in today's modern era.
