Also known as Ionic
one of the 3 orders of classical architecture (along with Doric and Corinthian), characterized by the use of volutes; columns stand on a base which separates the shaft of the column from the stylobate; the cap is usually enriched with egg-and-dart
AI overview
The Ionic order is one of the three main styles of classical architecture, recognizable by its distinctive spiral-shaped decorations called volutes on top of the column. It matters because it represents a key architectural tradition that influenced building design for centuries, with features like a base separating the column shaft from the ground and decorative egg-and-dart patterns on the capital.
