- (architecture) the arrangement of columns (especially freestanding columns) in a structure
How To Use columniation In A Sentence
- Let the columns be so placed as to leave a space, the width of an intercolumniation, all round between the walls and the rows of columns on the outside, thus forming a walk round the cella of the temple, as in the cases of the temple of Jupiter Stator by Hermodorus in the The Ten Books on Architecture
- The pycnostyle is a temple in an intercolumniation of which the thickness of a column and a half can be inserted: for example, the temple of the Divine Caesar, that of Venus in Caesar's forum, and others constructed like them. The Ten Books on Architecture
- So it is likely that this is actually a double star, a binary which is very close in separation that may be the mechanism that generates the columniation.
- The photorefractive creates an index grating that couples light from one beam to another effectively compensating for any less than stellar phase-front negating any need for complicated optical alignment, spatial filtering, and columniation.
- There are five classes of temples, designated as follows: pycnostyle, with the columns close together; systyle, with the intercolumniations a little wider; diastyle, more open still; araeostyle, farther apart than they ought to be; eustyle, with the intervals apportioned just right. The Ten Books on Architecture
- The diffracted beam columniation depends on the variable detector distance from the fixed scattering volume.
- The construction will be diastyle when we can insert the thickness of three columns in an intercolumniation, as in the case of the temple of The Ten Books on Architecture
- For columns with these diameters in diastyle, the intercolumniation would have measured between 1.80 m and 2.90 m (2.40 m for a bottom diameter of 0.60 m).
- In his treatise Vitruvius listed different intercolumniation types: 3 diameters for diastilos, 2.25 diameters for eustilos, 2 diameters for eustylos and 1.25 diameters for picnostylos.
- Lamp positions adjust for maximum columniation and optimum coverage.
