Love the bird-like creatures emerging from the foliage on this Corinthian capital on the Liverpool and London and Global Building on St Vincent Street in Glasgow. Designed by James Thomson, with sculptures by James Young, it was built in 1899.

Love these column capitals featuring the prows of long boats on the second phase of the Clyde Navigation Trust building on the Broomielaw in Glasgow.

A rather delightful pair of sculpted column capitals featuring a hound chasing a stag through the foliage which wraps round them. They're on the 1920s Memorial Chapel at Glasgow University and were created by Archibald Dawson.

Really not too sure what's going on with the column capital on the former Carsewell Fishing Gut Company building on York Street in Glasgow. Built in 1901, it was designed by Neil C. Duff.

The #column is the most complex component — not least because of the beautiful #capital at the top. It also offers the most opportunities for creative expression, as long as designers differentiate in the #decorativeElements, not #tectonicElements.

There are 3 subcomponents of a column — the #columnBase, #columnShaft, and #columnCapital. In the #IonicOrder, there are variants for each of these components, not just in the tectonic portions, but also in the decorative portions, and it is equally acceptable to mix and match them.

Classic variant of the column #base bears #Vignola's signature in a new #molding called #scotia. There's a "modern" version that has a newer Scotia. I am trying hard to resist the urge to call it #NovaScotia.

The column #shaft is not perfectly cylindrical. It gradually tapers off in the upper 2/3, has a plain unadorned variant, and a #fluted variant.

Classic variant of the column #capital has parallel flat #volute slabs only visible from the front and back, but not from the sides. There's also a modern variant that has curved volute faces on all four sides with pointed ends at all corners and optimized for use in a corner column, but not limited to that.

These variants can be freely intermixed in any combination of base, shaft, and capital. The sketch shows an Ionic column with a modern base, fluted shaft, and classic capital, but any other combination would be equally acceptable as long as all are internally consistent in a single #colonnade or #arcade.

Beyond these tectonic elements, there are decorative elements like the #eggsAndDarts motif in the #ovolo of the capital. The eggs can be convex or concave, the eggs and arrows can look different, or the Ovolo could have a completely different motif, or none at all.

The bell-shaped #scrolls between volute slabs are separated by a ribbon or belt with a 3-strand braid not seen in this sketch. If you design fashion accessories, experiment with other designs while maintaining proportions.

The building it's in at 20 Buchanan Street was designed by John Hutchison and his chief assistant Andrew Black in the late 1880s when Mackintosh was serving the final year of his apprenticeship in Hutchison's office, and Mackintosh is said to have designed what were described at the time as its brilliantly executed and surprising individual internal column capitals.

I think it's safe to say that Glasgow probably has the only Nike store in the world with column capitals thought to have been designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh!

Love this unusual, ornate and rather appropriate column capital in the former Institition of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Glasgow. Designed by John B. Wilson and constructed in 1907, the building's now occupied by Scottish Opera. The ship under full sail is a particularly nice detail.

I love this column capital on the Lord Roberts Memorial in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow, especially the little dragons which make up its corners.

If you travel through Queen Street Station in Glasgow on your daily commute. Stop for a moment and take a look up. This is what the capitals on the cast iron columns which support its roof look like!
