research for publication |
Book: Architectural styles are the resultants of the "Weltanchaung" (world view) of the historic periods in which they were conceived. I am researching the mathematics, geometry, philosophy, science, and cosmology of each age and will demonstrate that the form and style, of the great works of architecture are not arbitrary, but are what they are as a result of the world view and cognitive structures of each era.
