CONTEMPLATIO 1/6
WATCHING
CONSPICIO:
The reading of the signs within the 'Templum' represented by the four views and the aerial photograph.
A park that implies a microcosm of scenes, the 'Scena Tragica' in form of the palace.
The 'Scena Comica' in form of the city in the background.
And the 'Scena Satirica' as the park itself.
LEGEM DIXIT:
The 'theme' for this specific 'Templum'.
Spontaneous theater
CONREGIO:
The laying out of the 'Template' of the labyrinth and its directions.
The UTM Grid point is projected to be the center of a cross laid out in the directions of the UTM Grid, this cross is marked by four points in such a way that these points form a square of 4.80 x 4.80 m. Within this square these corner-points are then used as the centers of four angles of 1.20 m. The cross, the angles and the points are the basis to construct the labyrinth-diagram. The end-point of the labyrinth's route faces the center of the park and will be the center from which the construction of the labyrinth-diagram is started.
CORTUMIO:
The assessing of the signs by the rules of the inaugurator's science, so the proposal of a design.
The Theater of Re-presentation is a pavilion like structure that allows a multitude of different forms
of 'theater' to take place.
