Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the way in which Greek architects designed Doric capitals. There have been earlier attempts to do this kind of thing, but the difficulty has remained of carrying conviction, of showing that the characteristics and relationships noted do not just happen accidentally but embody the intentions of the designers. This is the excuse for devoting so much of what follows to questions of procedure, to methodological objections and their rebuttal. Readers who are prepared to take such matters on trust will find the results of the investigation set out on pp. 84–93, 97–103.
