Archivoid - a working title or the Ionic Equation
This is a jigsaw piece of a thesis. A leading practioner has agreed it could be proven and that it could follow a rigorous method. It therefore would fall into the scientific category of study in architecture.
This thesis proposes that a proximity to Arcadia fashioned the sensibilities of the Greek Theatre as it in turn fashioned the Architecture of its important buildings:
WITH Landscape, Architecture, Man - forming a tripartite relationship, each providing a necessary position towards
THE OTHER in order to permit each an existence or even a presence in material form.
A direct exploration has been made through both the creation of poetics and an understanding of the broad spectrum of poetics to experience a harmony, and to aid comprehension of the components of the theatre in its historical development which initially facilitates the recreated harmony.
From this perspective a relationship has been made - Sound to Architecture - . The investigation has revealed
an interpretation in which a correlation appears to occur between known historical mnemonic diagrams and, most importantly, the Modular System of Le Corbusier. This thesis seeks to illustrate these phenomena and the link between the Classical and Modern in architecture and demonstrate the common qualities undoubtedly experienced by both cognisant and incognisant witnesses. If such a basis can be proven and accepted, components with similar qualities could be incorporated into the overwhelmingly functional designs of major projects for their natural reintegration into the ground surface and to the progress of human kind, two different requisites.
In this respect Arcadia is considered to be the articulation of Wilderness and all building as an attempt to recreate more or less that condition.
