Highlight is (the replica of) the cargo ship "Amsterdam" which perished in a storm during its 1749 maiden voyage

Today in the fiat mines I sculpted (using a cement+powdered brick modeling paste) some ornamental corner pieces on a 1901 Dutch villa. The brick walls are load-bearing. Low time pref #architecture #restoration

As for general Bolkonsky, his mind is lofty but his foot is on the lathe. I love this kind of #liminality

I want to be like #Bolkonsky

Since #Darwin, theorists and historians of #architecture have borrowed the iconography of #evolution, attempting to classify architectural styles. Notable examples are the Banister Fletchers in the early twentieth century and more recently Charles Jencks. I humbly present an evolutionary theory of #architecture that complements its predecessors by paying due attention to prehistoric and vernacular architecture. #Archeology has revealed striking leaps in the evolution of architectural form, such as the transition from circular to rectangular house plans during the neolithic age. Studying these leaps or bifurcations sheds light on the dynamics of architecture as an organically developing discipline. Further informed by Jean Gebser's #philosophy of mind I describe five architectural types: the archaic, pastoral, agrarian, monumental and integral. Each type represents a stage in the unfolding of the discipline since prehistoric times. By placing contemporary architecture in the context of deep #time I hope to bring new meaning to the use of ordinary form. https://silvanlaan.com/arch_in_evo_sep24.pdf
