The architrave is different in the different Orders . In the Tuscan , it only consists of a plain face, crowned with a Fillet , and is half a Module in height. In the Doric and composite, it has two faces, or Fasciae ; and three in the Ionic and Corinthian, in which it is 10/12 of a module high, though but half a module in the rest. The word architrave is also used to refer to the Mouldings (or other elements) framing a door, window or other rectangular opening. See also Archivolt . SEE ALSO
