| dc.description.abstract | It’s hard to say how a great designer achieves the
perfect design, but it seems we all can recognize
these perfect designs when we see them. What
separates these great designs from the rest? What
procedures in the designing process have brought
about these perfect designs? There must be a
certain balance and harmony to these design that
draws us to these conclusions? I plan on studying
these relationships to find out what makes and
how to make the perfect design through the study
of Greek Architecture. In Greek architecture there
was a highly structured system of proportions that
related each individual component to the whole
building. The Greeks took architecture to a higher
level when they built impressive symbols of their
society, culture, and temples to their gods. They
were influenced by mathematics and used it to
create beauty and balance in their design. Many
lessons can be learned through the study of Greek
architecture and their search for perfection that
can be used in the design of Shelter Island. These
systems of mathematical proportions can be applied
to planning and site detailing to achieve a
harmonious Landscape Architectural design. The
overall underlying premise of this project is that
the principals of ancient Greek architecture can be
applied today to yield Landscape Architecture of
the highest order. | en_US |
