I am obsessed with classicism and Steven W. Semes eloquent expression of the architecture of the classical interior. Especially take note of Pyramidal Organization – “mass concentrated at the bottom for stability and a diminishing of the apparent weight as the structure rises” “rising toward lightness and light is a common theme throughout classical architecture. Main objective of fictive structure is to make this movement both convincing and expressive” “The Pyramidal structure seems to dematerialize as it rises – until it breaks open at the top revealing the heavens” … I love this. It is Vastu 101.
Even in our most contemporary designs classicism can exist as the concept of interior space. Space itself is the expressive element and the number one ingredient of an atom is empty space. The actual physical matter of an atom is minute. This gives us a world view that is totally different.
