Today, I am finally finished with all of my exams and projects! I have probably spent almost 20 hours on my architectural analysis design and I hope it shows.

| Clockwise from the left corner: Pantheon, Casa del Fascio, Tempietto, Piazza del Campidoglio, and the Vitruvian Man in the center |
For our final project I had to apply four Roman architectural structures and designs from four different time periods and relate them to an over all concept that ties them all together. I decided to base my project on the Vitruvian Man who portrays the ideal proportions. All of the architecture I picked relates to the idea of ideal proportion relating to the human figure. The structures I chose were the Pantheon, the Tempietto, Piazza del Campidoglio, and Casa del Fascio. All but the latter are in Rome. Casa del Fascio is in Como.
The Pantheon is based on a one to one ratio, the Tempietto uses the idea of the golden ratio, Casa del Fascio has a facade based on symmetrical bays, and the Piazza del Campidoglio is based on ideal proportion through human perception.
Do you all agree that these work?
