Rectifying the Arc (of the sky) - a series of architectural exercises

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A series of fourteen architectural exercises were conducted over twelve months, beginning with a study of composition and ending with an exhibition. Composition, known to both painters and architects, assists in providing an order for five distinct architectural elements: a singular beam, color (blue), arches, a field of columns, and a perspectival stair. In this case, the composition is raised above all other things in order to see the potential of this model as an acropolis.
