"WHAT BRAZEN SCAMP conceived the standing dinner? If we can trust Frieze New York to be a weathervane, this post-pandemic hedge against the formal repast is here to stay. Should we thank the galleries for saving us from resentful placement in the social Siberia of a seated dinner or slap them for depriving us of a square meal?"

Good Morning! Sunrise as an Art Nouveau frieze in #peach which is today's #acoloradAyPRIL A remarkable, different sunrise. #photography #landscape #cloudscape #horizontals #scape #frieze #ArtNouvea #art #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

High view at sunrise, looking out over dark plains to the sea and horizon. Above the horizon is a band of cumulus with regular, repeating shapes, those at the front still dark and those behind lit by the rising sun. The whole sky is a peach colour, contrasting the two dark bands of land and sea, and a further band of dark cloud at the top of the image. Overall the image looks like an abstract Art Nouveau frieze in peach.

Classic variation of the #IonicEntablature. Left side shows the macro-level plan. Right side shows the detailed plan for the #moldings.

All moldings should be familiar from the #IonicPedestal, except the #fascia — flat bands, of which there are 3, at the bottom of the #Architrave. The fascias grow progressively taller, starting at 36 units at the bottom, to 48 in the middle, and 60 at the top, with each successive one offset horizontally by 6 units from the previous one.

Above the fascia, we have a #cymaReversa which is 24 units tall and 20 units wide. Here we are using half turn of a helix with a vertical axis. Either helix or elliptical arcs are acceptable, but the choice must be consistent across the entire order. You cannot use ellipses in the pedestal and helices in the entablature, for example.

If you do use a helix, remember that it is a 3D shape like a round coil. To use it as a #profileCurve, it must be flattened to a 2D shape by #projecting it to the #constructionPlane. I will describe this technique in detail later.

The #frieze is a flat surface with no moldings. It is meant as a blank space on which to put custom decorative 3D #ReliefCarvings or sculptures.

There are no new moldings in the #cornice. Note that the order of #cymaRecta and cyma reversa are reversed from that of the #pedestal, with cyma recta at the top and cyma reversa at the bottom. The only difference between the two is that the recta has a horizontal axis and reversa has a vertical axis. Rotating either one 90° yields the other.

So, the bottom of the cornice starts with a cyma reversa 32 units tall and 34 wide. This is followed by a fascia 56 units tall on which the #dentils will appear later on. The 36 unit horizontal offset for the 4-unit thick fillet above it is to leave room for the dentils.

This is followed by a #reed (8 units), #ovolo (32 units), #corona (48 units), cyma reversa (16 x 12 units), fillet (4 units), cyma recta (40 x 44 units), and fillet 12 units

There are two variations of the #IonicEntablature. The classic variation has #dentils, which are teeth-like structures shown here above the #frieze. The modern version has #modillions, which are projecting brackets under the #corona of the #cornice. Well, "modern" is a relative term. For designs that are more than 2000 years old, even an alteration 1000 years ago would qualify as modern.

Although the sketch shows the #entablature with a square footprint, in practice, it runs the entire length of a #colonnade (multiple columns) or an #arcade (multiple arches).

#CAD construction of the entablature is very similar to that of a #pedestal.

The first step is to consult #Vignola's #RegolaArchitettura for the visual appearance, and then consult #Scarlata's #PracticalArchitecture for #VignolaProportions in tabular form.

It is convenient to create a spreadsheet to convert the measurements given in Scarlata's book from module "parts" to your own model units based on your choice of value for the module parameter µ.

Armed with these measurements, it is time to plot the points and draw the #primaryProfileCurves on our standard 2D grid with minor grid lines 8 units apart and major grid lines 32 units apart.

In the first pass, skip the dentils and draw the profile curves for the rest of the moldings. Just as with the pedestal, I will show the macro-level plan as well as the detail plan. So, you don't have to go to Scarlata's book, but you know it's there if you want to.

I will show the dentil arrangement in a subsequent post.

Based on µ = 144, the classic Ionic entablature is 648 units (36 parts, or 4.5*µ) tall. Of this, the #architrave at the bottom is 180 units (10 parts, or 1.25*µ) tall, the frieze in the middle is 216 units (12 parts, or 1.5*µ) tall, and the cornice at the top is 252 units (14 parts, or 1.75*µ) tall.

This is a sketch of the complete #IonicOrder, excluding #intercolumniation and #arches, which came later.

Different people have different abilities and different levels of mathematical knowledge. I make few assumptions about the minimum knowledge one must possess to follow my posts. At a minimum, one must understand ratio, proportion, similar, congruent triangles, Pythagoras, and basic properties of circles, including radius, diameter, circumference, tangents, secants, and chords.

No trigonometry or calculus is assumed, but people who have a knowledge of differentiable continuity, maxima, minima, and inflection points will have increased appreciation of the nuances of some designs featuring smooth curves and surfaces.

I start with first principles, even if it might be a little boring for people with advanced skills. The most basic requirement is that one must be able to mark points on a 3D grid, draw a straight line between two points, and draw a circle or arc from the center. The CAD tools should help with the rest, for example, to find a point of tangency, draw a circle through three arbitrary points, or tangential to three curves (if possible).

There are three components in the #Ionic order. Starting at the bottom is the #pedestal (which is optional), the #column, and the #entablature. Each of these three components has three subcomponents:
— Pedestal has #basement, #dado, and #cap.
— Column has #base, #shaft, and #capital.
— Entablature has #architrave, #frieze, and #cornice.

The pedestal, column, and entablature are always in 4:12:3 ratio. If all components are present, the total order height is divisible by 19. If there's no pedestal, the total height is divisible by 15.

The entire order is parameterized by a SINGLE parameter — the radius of the column at its base. #Vitruvius called the radius a "module" (µ) — an abstract unit of measure independent of physical units.

Components of Ionic column and entablature also have classic and modern variations.

carlos amorales’ asemic works @ the 2017 venice biennale

[…] In continuity with previous research, Amorales’ Life in the folds introduces a formal language that unfolds in a variety of media within the installation. The artist developed a series of compositions that transit from abstraction to an illegible text, and this, to a phonetic language and to three-dimensional forms that emit music, to converge cinematographically in the story of the lynching of a migrant family. […]

Le immagini della violenza non sono mostrate. Nel momento del linciaggio prendono il sopravvento la figura del burattinaio e la musica. Nel padiglione durante la proiezione un ensemble interpreta dal vivo la colonna sonora e gli eventi della storia suonando le ocarine.

Si tratta di Ensemble Liminare, un gruppo indipendente di musica contemporanea con sede a Città del Messico e dedicato alla musica sperimentale. Intanto due attori distribuiscono il giornale creato dall’artista e scritto con l’alfabeto criptato, che contiene un saggio critico su alcune questioni politiche messicane.

[…] “Dal punto di vista artistico, ho studiato il modo in cui la scrittura è crittografata, inventando una forma di tipografia astratta: una strategia che preserva i contenuti dei testi, altrimenti messi a tacere se fossero resi leggibili. Per il Padiglione del Messico alla Biennale Arte 2017 ho codificato un alfabeto secondo le leggi delle lingue formali, partendo dall’astrazione fino a raggiungere il livello della figurazione, in cui la comunicazione può avvenire apertamente”.

and

Liquid Archive (1999–2010). The archive was a collection of digital images dating back to 1998 that Amorales used to form a figurative alphabet and visually abstract language composed of shapes, lines, and nodes instead of words. The graphics that comprised the alphabet transformed over the years from identifiable forms, such as birds and airplanes, to organic shapes that resemble east asian calligraphy.
