Geometrical Analysis of the Coffers of the Pantheon’s Dome in Rome
Abstract The shape and layout of the coffers of the Pantheon’s dome have been studied for centuries. The configuration of the coffers is governed by a complex design that is based on geometric-constructive laws yet to be defined. There is no recent and complete graphic restitution of the Pantheon in scientific publications. In this research, contemporary metric restitution techniques were employed to survey the dome’s soffit. The layout of the coffers and their relationships with the spherical surface were analysed according to the performed survey. Through a comparative analysis between the restitution model and the ideal model of the dome’s soffit, we can identify possible irregularities and the laws that govern the elaborated design of these elements.
