The Panhellenic Aqueous
Studio 2A formally named “In the Round” instructed by Marc Erikson was an in depth analysis of understanding orthographic projections derived using the Pantheon as a precedent. We then used this data to create a new form that became an aquatic center in Los Angeles.
Case Study: The Pantheon
The main focus of this case study is to identify the moments of symmetry in our precedents. The Pantheon was a very unique case as it contained a spherical symmetry, where the structure doesn't only create one line of vertical symmetry, the interior main space is the perfect circumference to hold a dome. From this we were to generate diagrams with the form of the precedent.
