The Romans did not use three building styles more often. They adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for building columns: Dorian, Ionian and Corinthian. They also adopted the Tuscan (Etruscan) order, but only for fortifications and warehouses. They introduced the composite order, which was a mixture of two orders, usually the Ionic and Corinthian. For the rest, Roman architecture was very different from Greek architecture.

no, not all Greek architecture has columns
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.
Greek civilisation was not influenced by Greek architecture. Greek architecture was a product of Greek civilisation
