This dream reminded me of Venice, or some other italian place, a grand plaza with a gigantic stone head with an archway, and a leaning building like a church or a baptistry. It felt like I was on vacation.

Gravity's Embrace: Exploring Classical Architecture's Cosmic Connection and the Quest for a New Spatial Paradigm

Classical architectural space, rooted in principles developed over centuries, is indeed deeply intertwined with the laws of nature. These principles often reflect human experiences, cultural values, and an understanding of the physical world. Classical architecture draws heavily from geometry, proportion, and symmetry, all of which resonate with natural patterns and forms. For instance, the use of the golden ratio in classical architecture mirrors the proportions found in nature, from the arrangement of petals in a flower to the spiral of a seashell.

Furthermore, classical architecture often seeks to harmonize with its surroundings, whether it's integrating with the landscape or aligning with celestial phenomena like the path of the sun or the positions of stars. This integration reflects an acknowledgment of humanity's place within the broader cosmos.

If architecture were to defy gravity, it would necessitate a radical reimagining of classical principles. Gravity is not just a force we contend with; it's a fundamental aspect of our experience of space and the built environment. Without gravity, structures would lack stability and orientation as we understand them. Therefore, a new architecture would need to emerge—one that doesn't rely on traditional supports and spatial relationships.

This new architecture would likely draw inspiration from the microgravity environments experienced in space, where traditional notions of up and down lose their meaning. Designers might explore structures that float or orbit, embracing a more fluid and dynamic conception of space. Rather than grounding buildings to the earth, they might anchor them to celestial bodies or design them to move in harmony with cosmic forces.

In honouring space both architecturally and cosmically, designers would need to consider not only the physical laws that govern our universe but also the deeper connections between humanity and the cosmos. Architecture would become a means of exploring our cosmic predicament as inhabitants of Earth, reminding us of our place in the vastness of space and our responsibilities as stewards of our planet. This new architecture would not just defy gravity but transcend it, offering a glimpse of a future where humanity's relationship with the cosmos is reflected in every facet of our built environment.

Gewiss – bei den derzeitigen Temperaturen fällt es schwer, an Schnee zu denken, aber das ist nun kein Grund, Euch weitere Bilder meiner, man könnte sagen, „Dresden im Schneezauber“-Reihe vorzuenthalten. Im heutigen Fokus steht das Kronentor – ein Motiv, welches ich, kaum zu glauben, in über 300 Beiträgen bisher noch gar nicht behandelt habe. Das Kronentor ist für mich der Gipfel des barocken „Unsinns“, und das im positiven Sinne! Ein Bau, der einfach nur für sich selbst da ist und aus heutiger Perspektive keine Funktion zu erfüllen scheint. Er steht in der Tradition der meist nur provisorisch errichteten Ehrenpforten und anderen Staffagen zur Umrahmung hoher Festlichkeiten. Doch während diese sonst meist nur aus Holz errichtet wurden und nur kurze Zeit bestanden, ließ August der Starke sie hier im wahrsten Sinne in Stein meißeln. Das Tor wirkt wie eine Antithese auf die mittelalterlich befestigten Stadttore, die Dresdens Silhouette noch bis ins 19te Jahrhundert hinein prägen sollten. Es war Symbol der Transformation einer Stadt, an deren Ende anstelle der Festungsanlagen mondäne Parks und Villenviertel entstehen sollten. Dazu diese absurde Architektur, eine fast groteske Masse an Skulpturen, Vasen, Bögen, Säulen, diese extravagante zwiebelförmige Haube – Herrlich! Es macht eine Freude beim Hinsehen, denn trotz dieser Überfülle stimmt alles. Es ist ein architektonisches Meisterwerk, das genau SO sein muss und nicht anders. Beinahe hätte der Zwinger einen noch umso phantastischeren Kaskadenturm erhalten und sollte eigentlich auch nur ein kleiner Vorhof werden. Eben diese Verrücktheit, dieser wunderbar eigensinnige Absolutismus ist im Kronentor auf Jahrhunderte in Stein festgehalten und das ist eine der schönsten schöpferischen Leistungen des Menschen überhaupt! . . #dresden #skd #skdmuseum #architecture #architektur #zwinger #zwingerdresden #dresdencity #dresdengram #dresdenaltstadt #dresdencastle #zwingercastle #oldtown #altstadt #classicalarchitecture #castle #europeancastles #winterwonderland #baroque #baroqueofficial #baroquearchitecture #bellotto #canaletto #dresdenliebe #kronentor | by notenwert

This is a detail from a very old dream, it reappeared in my mind the other day, I had to draw it immediately before I forgot it again.

I wish I could show the rest of this location from different angles, there's so much more to see. I really should try and recreate some of these places in 3D to show them fully. Just a picture isn't enough...
