Personally, I would choose to agree with Didascalo, who proposed to discard Vitruvian principles of architecture in ancient Greek, and support a relative ornamental style. Basically, I think architecture should not be confined into a framework, but rather evolving with the evolution of science and people’s aesthetic value as well as the variation in purpose, material, and cultural circumference. Admittedly, the simplicity and reason of classical Greek style is appealing, but Protopiro’s proposal seems to restrict the creativity and freedom of architecture, which is quite important as the classical order never be appropriately applied to whatever era and environments.
