A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The Structural Tile of the Tholos of Delphi, Its Design and Construction Contemporary
The text explores the fundamental question raised by Edoardo Persico nearly a century ago: Is architecture solely an engineering solution for building problems? It emphasizes the need to combine intuition and demonstration in architecture, drawing inspiration from Dante's works. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the history and origins of architecture and how seemingly obsolete ideas can become modern again. The research focuses on the Tholos of Athena Pronaia in Delphi, analyzing its structural and architectural form using 3D elaboration. It highlights the interdisciplinary dialogue between contemporary research and classical Greek cosmological vision. The text raises questions about the collapse of ancient Greek temples and proposes innovative solutions. The Tholos of Delphi serves as a timeless icon for studying rational roots and design devices. The research utilizes advanced technologies like 3D printing to create a detailed prototype and evaluate the distribution of elements for balance and structural functionality.
