PSYC 4070 Chapter : Spring 2015
Document Summary
The primitive hut- laugier: does not like arches- claims they are useless, an arch is pushing down while carrying weight on both sides. Does not make sense: feels pilasters are superficial because you hide any mistakes the builder made easily with them, the deepest story should always be on the bottom- heaviest thing should be closest to the ground. The primitive hut also did not remain so its not talked about as much. Mound building- started all over the world at around the same time: some thought the practice was ceremonial or perhaps to see over land to look at something or to gain high ground from flooding. The vitruvian man- leonardo da vinci: vitruvius was first architect, tried to show relationship between circle and square, we see an attempt to make circles and squares in the landscape. The parthenon- athens, greece: the building is in ruins.
