"Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Composite, Capital" by Felipe Chaverri 
  

This drawing is actually the structure of a book (https://www.talleroperaciones.org/orden-y-rapto-de-la-valla-publicitaria). Everyone can stretch their conclusions about using a drawing as a historical and theoretical laboratory, but the one that would interest me the most to expose here is the following: there happens so much disaster and glory, so much demolition and construction on drawings, as one can testify on buildings.

The problem of placing the structure of a common billboard in front of the classical orders of architecture is not its historical gap, but its ordering criterion. The module with which each of the classical orders is proportionally constructed can be used as an analytical method to examine the billboard with architectural precision in qualitative terms.

It is necessary to refer to the matter of the billboard, its shape, its layout and project to assess whether it has achieved this status without the architectural discipline knowing or admitting it.
