~Course Overview ~

​

Over the course of this weekend workshop, Clarissa and Stephanie will lead you through the construction of a series of designs inspired by the geometry of the ancient Pantheon in Rome. We will focus on the marble pavement and coffered dome of the Grand Rotunda.

​

During Saturday’s session, Clarissa will first discuss the harmonious Ad Quadratum and Ad Triangulum proportions used throughout the design of the building. We will then construct a simplified floor plan together, showcasing these proportions before exploring their relationship to the design of the pavement pattern. Finally, we will draw a composition of tiles from the centre of the pavement grid.

​

During the Sunday session, Stephanie will turn our attention to the geometry of the incredible coffered dome, which to this day remains the largest unsupported concrete dome in the world.
