Fig. 2c. A recreational exercise: inscribe different rectangles in a given drawing of a temple. To see the dissimilarities, look at the stairs below the building; actually, the Parthenon has more than 3 (unequal) steps. The drawings shown in Figures 2a-2d were all based on existing so-called "analysis of buildings", repeated over and over in different textbooks. Fig. 2c is drawn after [Markowsky 1992, after H. E. Huntley]. | top of page | figure 2d | back to text |
