Anti-Tempietto
Since childhood I was strongly drawn to architecture. I at most highly praised the classic orders with their fascinating sense of symmetry, repetitiveness of rythms, astonishing shapes and detail. My appreciation towards the ancient greek design never really vanished. Isn` t the greek architecture capable of describing the space surrounding us
in an unsurpassed way?
What I am presenting here is a model of an upside down cylindrical building enclosed by
a dome. My idea was based on the Bramante Tempietto which itself has been drawn from a classical temple design. I gave it an upside down orientation because it was all about
an illusionistic play. I wish I can experiment on this concept much more in the future and bring it to further dimension of exploration, but here is what it is for today... The whole object was designed to be built full size and viewed from a precise viewpoint. With one eye closed though...
