Construction Drawings

In the Hellenistic and Roman period, many buildings and material objects were constructed using structural geometrical specifications. Ancient sundials were built using basic geometrical forms of very few construction types taking also into account the astronomical dimensions. In architectural drawings, comparable proportions can be found. The tower of the winds merges all these geometrical principles of construction. The construction drawings of this collection comprise geometrical drafts used for the construction of buildings. They differ from simple geometrical forms in that they present the general layout of the lines indicating objects and geometrical areas. Their geometrical dimensions are constructed according to the principles of proportional relations and were implemented in – sometimes very complex – work processes in which artefacts of the original objects were constructed. Construction drawings from the pillars of Didyma, which were discovered by Lothar Haselberger, serve as a paradigmatic model for these architectural drawings.

在希腊化与罗马时期，众多建筑与物质实体均采用了结构几何学规范进行建造。古时日晷亦采用极为有限的构建类型的基本几何形态，同时亦考量了天文尺寸。在建筑图纸中，可找到相似的比例关系。风塔融合了所有这些构建的几何学原则。本收集的构建图纸包括了用于建筑构建的几何草图。它们与简单的几何形态不同，在于它们呈现了指示物体与几何区域的线条布局。其几何尺寸依据比例关系原则构建，并在有时极为复杂的工艺流程中得到实施，这些工艺流程构建了原始实体的器物。由洛塔尔·哈塞尔贝格发现的迪德玛斯柱的构建图纸，成为此类建筑图纸的典范模型。
