2. 1. Studies in Roman architecture : Configuring the classical orders

   Author : Peter Liljenstolpe; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology; Architecture; classical architecture; Roman archaeology; classical archaeology; column; capital; ornamentation; Arkeologi; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; arkeologi; Archaeology;

   Abstract : This study describes the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders as subsystems, which were configured according to the desired effect of the system, i.e. the architecture. This follows what Vitruvius termed decor and was dependent on either physical factors, convention or custom. READ MORE

5. 3. Program Matters : From Drawing to Code

   Author : Pablo Miranda Carranza; Katja Grillner; Daniel Koch; Charlie Gulström Hughes; Molly Wright Steenson; KTH; []

   Abstract : Whether on paper, on site or mediating between both, means for reading and writing geometry have been central to architecture: the use of compasses and rulers, strings, pins, stakes or plumb-lines enabled the analysis and reproduction of congruent figures on different surfaces since antiquity, and from the renaissance onwards, the consistent planar representation of three-dimensional shapes by means of projective geometry. Tacitly through practice, or explicitly encoded in classical geometry, the operational syntaxes of drawing instruments, real or imaginary, have determined the geometric literacies regulating the production and instruction of architecture.
