Frank Lloyd Wright meets Vedic architecture
2006.03.17 14:12
When you say, "how the hindu sages knew all these principles is still a mystery" does this mean vastushastra is hinduism?
I too am interested in "geomancy practices, its role and views from a professional point." Interested in that there are some "geomancy practices" in architecture that I've been keeping my eye out for. For example-- www.quondam.com/38/3733.htm. I've also found the same circle/square juncture diagram within an early FLWright decorative ceiling grille design. So I'm just adding some examples that might fit into the discussion.
And here's some of my thoughts regarding the Indian continent. First, it's like Africa, almost like an African reenactment even, except smaller and the Himalayans to the north instead the Mediterranean. Yet, only Africa has the Great Pyramids. But there definitely is Sri Lanka instead of Madagascar. Smaller, yes, but perhaps a little more culturally developed over time? It looks at least close, and to complete the set, there's the Australian continent with its Tasmania.
At least allow me some poetic geomancy license on that last paragraph.
So, back to Wright, it might be interesting to look at Wright's work from just around 100 years ago, and then continue the 100-year-back-looking as the future years go by. Is geomancy there to be found? He certainly always had a flair for 2D and 3D (basic) geometry.
