Document Summary
In an architectural order only the column, the entablature and pediment may form an essential part of its composition. returning back to nature (portillo) Columns are the legs of the building they should not be raised on a pedestal (portillo) Pedestals are only good for carrying statues and to make them serve any other purpose is essentially bad taste (portillo) The pieces of wood which rest horizontally on the vertical posts to form a ceiling are represented by what we call the entablature (portillo) Conclusions of the entablature: (i)that the entablature must always rest on its columns like a lintel (en plate-bolide); (2) that in its whole length it must not have any corner or projection (portillo) Do not put anything on a building that you can not give sound reason to (portillo) Don"t put pediments on top of each other (portillo) Everything that goes against nature may be peculiar but will never be beautiful (portillo)
