I would think it means "doric order" - the oldest and plainest type of ancient Greek architecture
but I think it should have a tilde - Dórico

Sheila-Foster's reply is substantially correct. I would only add that "ordine dorico" is not Spanish but is Italian. To be Spanish, it would need to be "orden dórico". In Spanish, not only "Doric" but also "order" are spelled a little differently than they are in Italian.
This information is presented for your reading enjoyment by your pedantic pain in the place where you sit, Me, Moe.
If you would like more information, Wikipedia has an article about Doric Order here:
In English ----> Doric Order
In Spanish ----> Orden Dórico
In Italian ----> Ordine Dorico

I wondered about that Moe - I could only find "orden" in the dictionary. It didn't occur to me that it could be another language :) - sheila-foster, ENE 7, 2010
