English term or phrase: modular line lenghts
The temple at Priene was one of the classic examples of a building
constructed according to the modular principle. It was built by Pytheos,
the architect of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the seven
wonders of the ancient world. Every part of his building at Priene is
in proportion to every other part; the width of the columns relates to
their height, to the spaces between them, to the size of the sanctuary
and the scale of the ornament. The whole building resonates with an
enlivening harmony: in this temple even the paving stones were cut
according to the modular unit. The module at Priene (as in the many
temples like it that used a modular system of proportion) was taken
from the length of the radius of the base of the columns on the temple
front. Following this example, I urge you to measure the radius of the
O in this inscription, picking one from near the centre, thus discounting
any photographic distortion. Use this length of line to measure the
parts of the other letters. Though the letters do not adhere precisely to
fixed measurements in terms of length and radius, it seems the makers
of this inscription were thinking proportionally about letterforms, and
the logic here is linear. These letters appear to be constructed out of
