Upper Bremo - a Geometric Analysis
What the hell is this paper doing here? Great question! I freely admit to my mathematical nerdness. If you taught Geometry for 36 years, you might go down a similar dark path of wondering about the applications of what you teach. And yes, people actually used Geometry in the designs of architecture. This paper was "peer" reviewed and deemed to be close but missing the mark. I'd agree and have ideas for a second paper on Thomas Jefferson's design of Barboursville. [I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat for the release of that one!] Well, keep waiting. I might get in the mood to finish it. I might not.
Introduction:
“Palladio is the Bible. You should get it and stick close to it.” Thomas Jefferson directed these words to General John Cocke as advice in designing his new home known as Bremo. This paper will explore the proportional accuracy Palladio himself would have suggested and whether these proportions are evident in the final design by the architect of Bremo - John Neilson.
