  Hello everyone, it's more than a year I don't build something in MC and I would like to resume this hobby, but I think I need to start with something fast and not too big in order to get used to the game again.
  I'm thinking about a nice mansion I would like to build on the sea...and now there's a question for you all.
  Is there anyone having a small and nice island where I can build on? I would like a place where it's very difficult to build, like a towering rock... not to small and not too big, like this: https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/mediterranean-villa-in-li-galli-islands/

  PRESERVING WORLD HERITAGE CONTEST
  
  I suggest (I would like to oblige) the competitors to add, in the description of your submission a link to the official UNESCO web page of your heritage, or a link to a Wikipedia page, in order to give to all judges a source of documentation to evalueate each sub.
  
  Obviously, this is necessary even to demonstrate the membership, of your submission, in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
  
  NOTICE: do not confuse World Heritage with other minor recognitions (National Monument, Historical Monument, National Park and similar). With all due respect, this type of monuments/sites are not admitted to this contest.

  THEORY OF PROPORTION - part 3.4: The Corinthian and the Composite Order
  
  First I suggest you to check out the introduction in the part 3.1 of this topic: https://www.planetminecraft.com/member/archiga/wall/post/90588/
  
  Before starting I attach this image with the nomenclature of the main parts of the Ionic order as example. All the parts are in the same position in each order, the decors change: https://imgur.com/aAhXWqy
  
  
  
  I describe together the Corinthian and the Composite Order because of their same proportions. The differences are in the decorations.
  
  The Corinthian Order is the third of the Greek architecture, according to Vitruvius it was invented by the architect/sculptor Callimachus and its name derives from the Greek city of Corinth. Despite the Greek origin, this order was more used by Romans than in Greece, in fact we notice the utilization of the Corinth Order in the facade of the most important Roman temple: the Pantheon.
  The Composite Order was invented by the Romans and its capital shows the combination between the Ionic and the Corinthian Order. In addition to the capital, what differs from the Corinthian Order is the less complex entablature. The base and the shaft are the same.
  
  
  
  According to Vignola the height of the Corinthian/Composite column is obtained multiplying by 10 the diameter of the column. To get the dimensions of the other parts we give the value of 2 moduli (singular is modulo) to the diameter, so the height of the column is 20 moduli.
  
  In order to measure correctly the various parts of the order, Vignola used submultiples of the modulo. For the Corinthian/Composite Order 1 modulo = 18 parti (2 mod = 36 parti, 1/2 mod = 9 parti, 1 mod + 3 p = 21 p etc). I will use abbrevations mod (moduli) and p (parti).
  
  Of the 20 moduli for height of the column:
  2 mod 1/3 for the capital, 1 mod for the base, 16 mod 2/3 for the shaft.
  
  The height of the entablature is a quarter of the height of the column, then 5 mod (20 mod ÷ 4 = 5 mod = 90 p), and it is divided in the following parts:
  1,5 mod for the architrave, 1,5 mod for the frieze, 2 mod for the cornice.
  
  The intercolumniation (distance between two columns) must be 4 mod 2/3.
