I suspect that the stereobate of the Parthenon has a flat surface, the famous curvature being introduced in the stylobate. |

How the stylobate on which they stood was curved, so the colonnade could theoretically meet in parabolic grandeur some miles into space. |
|
Rising out of the stylobate is the plinth, a square or circular block that is the lowest part of the base. |
|
The topmost level which supports the colonnade is called a stylobate, the lower two are known as stereobates. |
|
It is a volume which makes no concession to those who do not know their stylobate from their euthynteria. |
|
Both buildings will have a stylobate and will contain a fitness center with an indoor 25-meter swimming pool, SPA and wellness clinic. |
|
The Greek forms of the Doric order have no individual base and instead rest directly on the stylobate, although subsequent forms of Doric frequently were given a conventional plinth-and-torus base. |
