Definition
The horizontal structural element supported by columns in classical architecture, consisting of three parts: the architrave (bottom), frieze (middle), and cornice (top). Each classical order has distinctive entablature proportions and decorative details.
Etymology
From Italian 'intavolatura' meaning 'boarding' or 'planking,' from 'tavola' (table/plank) with the prefix 'in-.' The term reflects the entablature's original function as horizontal wooden planking laid across vertical supports, later translated into stone in classical Greek architecture.
Kelly Says
The entablature is like architectural DNA - you can identify a Doric from an Ionic temple just by looking at its entablature proportions! The Greeks developed these ratios with mathematical precision, where the height of each section relates to column diameter in specific ratios that create visual harmony.
