Epistylar

/ɛpɪˈstaɪlər/ adjective

Definition

In architecture, relating to or constructed above columns; arranged or occurring above the columns of a building.

Etymology

From Greek 'epi-' (upon) + Latin 'stylus' (column), describing architectural elements or structures positioned above or upon the columns.

Kelly Says

Greek temples have incredibly precise architectural vocabularies—'epistylar' helps architects describe every level and relationship between building parts, from ground to roof.
