A triangle, a circle, a parallelepiped: a history of stereometry “in between” _ Diego Terna
Le Corbusier defined architecture as a play of volumes brought together in light: it is possible, in some cases, to analyze works of architecture through the filter of stereometry, that is, the measurement of volumes. The works that will be presented here all offer formal reminders of geometries, easily identifiable, which ultimately transform the works into large quantified objects, and in this way offer visitors more direct comparisons.
The use of Euclidean geometry has its roots in prehistory, and one example of such an application, the Santa Cristina Sacred Well, will introduce the theme of stereometry, a theme we will subsequently pursue through the examples by Archigram and SANAA, whose projects speak to us of how geometry is able to create a space between things and how human actions can insert themselves in this space.
In this way we will discern how architecture can reveal a surprising complexity even in simple gestures, perhaps thanks to the tension between the geometric and the non-geometric, as the work fits into the folds of a world that often seems to call for a strong formal clarity.
