The initial reason for my "letter to India" was to present the promenade architecturale formula, and by formula I mean the specific set of architectural ingredients/elements that comprise the classic Corbusian promenade architecturale. My question is whether the formula is evident within the correspondence I've sent/presented thus far.




homo ludens
1999.07.14

There are certain passages within Homo Ludens that relate directly to Piranesi's "play" of the Ichnographia Campus Martius, especially with regard to reenactment, the Scenographia, and the double theater. There are also connections between ritual and play that relate to the Triumphal Way.

While reading the first chapter of Homo Ludens, it seemed like I could do an entire analysis on the Ichnographia in terms of "the play element in culture." Moreover, the element of play relates directly to the notion of reenactment architecures, particularly with regard to the tourist aspect of today's reenactment architectures.

In light of this new connection, I'm now wondering if the element of play is within Vico's New Science.

Cabinets and Museums--virtually the same exact thing. Think about it.

Brigadoon, like a memory cabinet, isn't it?

Last night, I was at the Campidoglio in Rome, and who should come swaggering along but Elizabeth Taylor as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? complete with cocktail tumbler and tinkling ice-cubes.

"Hey Swampy! Who's that up there on that horse?"

"That's Marcus Aurelius."

"Oh really....uuusss."

,,,and yet much of Michelangelo's architecture was all about the improper use of mouldings:::
