The Tuscan, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, plus the Composite, (immediately above) are neatly and consisely laid out in this architectural drawing. In Thailand there is a Thai neo-classical column, which is used in a number of the Grand Palace buildings, and the Grand Hyatt hotel (top), as depicted in the photographs; next door to the Grand Hyatt is a shopping mall on the left (third picture), which uses Ionic columns in its design, so there's an interesting contrast of the two, for any aficionado of this architectural design element. It's interesting to note that the Thai neo-classical has unopened lotus flowers, which is an entirely appropriate twist.
