Who built the Doric column?

Ancient Greeks designed three different columns: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian style. So to answer your question: the Ancient Greeks.


How much weight the Doric?

The Doric order, one of the classical architectural styles of ancient Greece, does not have a specific weight as it refers to a style of column and its design rather than a physical object. Doric columns are characterized by their sturdy, fluted shafts and simple, unadorned capitals. The weight of a Doric column would depend on the materials used (such as stone or concrete) and its dimensions. Typically, these columns are designed to support significant structural loads in temples and other buildings.


In terms of ancient Greek architecture what does Doric mean?

Doric is an adjective referring to type of people or things. The Greek peoples were of different tribal/cultural origins - Achaeans, Aeolians, Ionians, Dorians. The Dorians included the Doric people of Corinth and Sparta.


What are the differences between the Doric and Ionic orders?

doric have an mutule, regula, tainia, metope, and ionic has small base at bottom of column, more flutes, double curve in stone under architrave, on the architrave, continious frieze.


Is the the main characteristic of Doric order is the capital or top of the column consisting of a rounded echinus at the top of the column joined to a square called the abacus true or false?

False. The main characteristic of the Doric order is its simple and sturdy design, featuring a plain capital that typically consists of a rounded echinus and a square abacus. However, the defining feature of the Doric order is more about its overall proportion and lack of ornate decoration compared to the Ionic and Corinthian orders, rather than just the capital design.
