    consonant

    The temples and palaces of ancient Greece are among the most consonant buildings in architectural history.

    What does "consonant" mean here? Thank you.

    G'day your Bubbness

    The word was conformable, but I decided against it....as you noticed. :)

    "Agreeable" finde ich schon ganz gut. Ich würde es von der musikalischen Konsonanz ableiten, also einem Akkord, der für das Ohr angenehm und schöne klingt. Von da ausgehend "harmonisch", "stimmig", "von harmonischen Proportionen" oder so etwas.

    I crossed out 'harmonious' too 'cause it sounded too musical. :=)

    mykl, im Deutschen geht es ganz gut - ich hätte darauf gewettet, dass "harmonious proportions" auch im Englischen funktioniert. Schade.

    Wupperwolf, you're right in your thoughts, "harmonious proportions" DOES work in English for architecture...I just didn't/couldn't think of the word proportions to finish off the harmonious. :)
