INTERCOLUMNIATION

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 684 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INTERCOLUMNIATION , in architecture, the distance between the columns of a
peristyle
 , generally referred to in terms of the lower
diameter
  of the column. They are thus set forth by Vitruvius (iii. 2): (a) Pycnostyle, equal to 12 diameters; (b) Systyle, 2 diameters; (c) Eustyle, 24 diameters (which was the proportion' preferred by him); (d) Diastyle, 3 diameters; and (e)
Araeostyle
  or wide spaced, 4" diameters, a span only= possible when the architrave was in
wood
 . Vitruvius's definition would seem to apply only to examples with which he was acquainted in Rome, or to Greek temples described by authors he had studied. In the earlier Doric temples the intercolumniation is sometimes less than one
diameter
 , and it increases gradually as the style developed; thus in the Parthenon it is 1;, in the Temple of Diana Propylaea at Eleusis, 11; and in the portico at Delos, 22. The intercolumniations of the columns of the Ionic Order are greater, averaging 2 diameters, but then the relative proportion of height to diameter in the column has to be taken into account, as also the width of the
peristyle
 . Thus
in the temple of Apollo Branchidae, where the columns are slender and over to diameters in height, the intercolumniation is 11, notwithstanding its
late
  date, and in the Temple of Apollo Smintheus in Asia
Minor
 , in which the peristyle is pseudodipteral, or
double
  width, the intercolumniation is just over 11. Temples of the Corinthian Order follow the proportions of those of the Ionic Order.
