Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STYLE (from Gr. a-6'1ms, a column; a different word from that used in literature, see below) , in architecture, the
term
  used to differentiate between its characteristics in various countries and at different periods (see ARCHITECTURE). The derivation of the word suggests that it was at first employed to distinguish the classic styles, in which the column played the
chief
 
part
 , and it would be more appropriate to speak of the Doric and Ionic styles than orders (q.v.). In the Assyrian,
Sassanian
  and perhaps the
Byzantine
  styles, the column was a secondary feature of small importance, whereas the
Greek
 , Doric and Ionic styles are based completely on the. column and the
weight
  of the superstructure it was required to carry. In France the
term
  is sometimes employed of the individuality of
character
  which is found in an artist's
work
 . For the use of the term
style
  " in botany see FLOWER.
