It is clear that Protopiro is in favor of the more austere nature of classical Greek order while Didascalo is advocating for unsanctioned rules regarding ornementation. While Didascalo makes some points against Protopiro’s way of thinking such as talking about the original creation of the Ionic and Corinthian orders and how there is no specific set of column orders, I have to side with Protopiro. Personally, I am more of an orderly oriented observer always trying to see the pattern, rhythm, and perfect proportion in anything whether it be a structure or a vehicle. In terms of structures, I like structures that harken back to antiquity and show the glory of the ancient world while following the classic rules of fluting and column capitals without modern additions. I’m not too fond of abstraction because I believe when elements are added from different time periods onto a structure trying to imitate antiquity, the purpose is lost. In terms of neoclassicism, the purpose to me is to revive the best of the ancient world, not revive them and their elements with revisions such as Piranesi’s square column drums with horizontal fluting. It could have to due with having national pride, but I don’t think any other Empire or country made a temple as nice as the Parthenon. While I truly admire Ancient Roman temple structures as well, after that, I believe there was too much ornamentation put on structures thereafter.
