(1/5) The Lost Wisdom of Architecture Fibonacci Sequence: A Golden Manor 🔑🏠 The Ancient Greek mastered mathematics and philosophy; finding the divine proportions of nature and creating the timeless classical style over two millenniums ago. 🏛️ The Fibonacci Spiral is the perfect geometric draughting guide when used in coherence with ergonomics and spatial function - the building designs almost designs itself and all falls in harmony.

Much of the elements of Georgian architecture are evolved from the Classical principles first seen in the traditions of ancient Greek and Roman architecture.   The evolutions are continual but often reference back to earlier times. The first floor window on this Georgian townhouse includes what is known as a Venetian or Serlian (after Sebastiano Serlio) window. A Venetian window is a three part window with the central part being arched topped and the two symmetrical sidelights being shorter. All three are broken up by pilasters and are topped by an entablature.   www.aoassociates.co.uk   #conservationarchitecture #conservationarchitect #buildingrestoration #restoration #georgianhouse #classicalarchitecture #venetianwindow #townhouse #wiltshirearchitecture #ribacharteredpractice #alexoliverassociates

Vastu and Feng Shui, ancient practices rooted in Indian and Chinese traditions respectively, emphasize the harmony between the built environment and natural forces. While architecture focuses on aesthetics and functionality, Vastu and Feng Shui go beyond, aiming to create positive energy flow for occupants. Vastu Shastra guides placement and orientation of structures based on cosmic principles, while Feng Shui enhances balance using elements like water and wind. Though not universally embraced in modern architecture, these philosophies offer cultural insights and alternative perspectives, emphasizing the interconnectedness of space, energy, and well-being, making them valuable considerations for those seeking holistic design and a harmonious living environment.

A Journey Through Time and Architecture - Episode 02 Rediscovering the Doric Order The Doric Order originated around the 7th century BCE in the western regions of Greece, particularly in the Dorian territories. It emerged as a response to the architectural needs of a society that valued strength, discipline, and simplicity. This order is considered the foundation of Greek architectural styles, predating the more elaborate Ionic and Corinthian orders. The Doric Order features simple, rounded capitals, fluted columns without bases, and an entablature with alternating triglyphs and metopes. Its design is characterized by strength, minimalism, and proportional harmony, emphasizing balance and stability in architecture. As the Doric Order evolved, it became a dominant style in mainland Greece and spread throughout the ancient Greek world, including southern Italy and Sicily. It was the preferred style for many temples and public buildings, symbolizing strength, democracy, and order. The Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens is one of the most famous examples of Doric architecture, showcasing the style's grandeur and simplicity. Represents the essence of classical architecture: simplicity, strength, and harmony. As we continue our journey through time and architecture, we are reminded that every style has a story to tell—a story that reflects the values, culture, and aspirations of its time. #ArchitecturalJourney #DoricOrder #GreekArchitecture #History #AncientGreece #ClassicalArchitecture #TimelessDesign #StudioCorinthian
