Eustyle or Eustyle ( Greek eustylos - with beautiful columns) is a type of ancient temple structures described by Vitruvius . This type of buildings was decorated with a colonnade , in which the intercolumnium (the interval between the columns) was chosen optimally. As a rule, this value was equal to two and a quarter lower diameters, but at the ends of the temple building it could reach three diameters.
Eurostyle could be four-, six- and eight-column [1] [2] [3] . Vitruvius believed that eustyle compensates for the functional inconvenience of other styles of column arrangement, provides spectacular architectural forms and convenient access to the structure [4] .
