Aldo Rossi, Nero, Bianco, Rosso, 1972

“The use of dramatic shadows in Rossi’s drawings was not for the purpose of articulating profiles, but rather to juxtapose the explicitly abstract/atemporal types with a sign for temporality/history”

Prototype

Ralph Erskine. The box

La arquitectura para Erskine parte de un diálogo que responde a las necesidades específicas de la persona, el tiempo y el lugar. La cabaña (The box) a pesar de tener una construcción modesta en cuanto a materiales, es rica en cuanto a reflexión y vida.

Menagerie, Versailles Louis La Vaux, 1663

The menagerie at Versailles, was a royal zoo built for Louis XIV. To the centre of the circular layout was an octagonal viewing pavilion for the King. This looked out into a series of enclosures for the animals which had bounding walls to three sides with open bars facing towards the centre. It is thought that this may have influenced Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon.

The Royal Society accepted James Cook to convey the scientific staff of the expedition to observe the transit of Venus due to occur on 3rd June 1769. Cook left England on Aug. 12, 1768 and, after the momentous discovery of New South Wales, arrived at Otaheite [i.e. Tahiti] on April 13, 1769 in plenty of time to build an observatory to carefully measure the transit across the Sun’s sphere on June 3, an event which occurs only twice within 8 years once every 120 years. Relief is shown by hachures and pictorially for ground cover.
