The UK’s forthcoming Donatello exhibition will capture the Florentine artist’s revolutionary genius for perspective, male beauty and, above all, empathy
The shape and layout of the coffers of the Pantheon’s dome have been studied for centuries. The configuration of the coffers is governed by a complex design that is based on geometric-constructive laws yet to be defined. There is no recent and complete graphic restitution of the Pantheon in scientific publications. In this research, contemporary metric restitution techniques were employed to survey the dome’s soffit. The layout of the coffers and their relationships with the spherical surface were analysed according to the performed survey. Through a comparative analysis between the restitution model and the ideal model of the dome’s soffit, we can identify possible irregularities and the laws that govern the elaborated design of these elements.

Other title: Pantheon (Rome, Italy) Date: 118-125 Current location: Rome, Roma, Lazio, Italy Description of work: Commissioned by Hadrian the building has captivated Western architects for generations. In 608 it was one of the first Roman temples to be converted into a church, Santa Maria Rotonda, and it has never been a ruin. "It compromises two elements: the first a conventional but deep porch supported by unfluted granite columns, its plinth originally approached via a flight of steps. This crudely abuts and provides the entrance to the second: the highly unconventional circular temple with its hemispherical dome. The dome springs from a drum whose height is exactly that of the radius of the dome (43.2 meters, 142 feet)..." (Woodward, Christopher. The Buildings of Europe: Rome.
