Forum and Fora: The Architecture and Culture of the Roman Forum A short educational book of c. 50,000-80,000 words., with fifty illustrations.Prospectus submitted to Cambridge University Press Feb. 2000, for the series "Cambridge Introduction to Classical Civilization, Due Dec. 2010

The Order of Architecture: a selective and theoretical history of the aesthetics of the classical "orders" (decorative columnar systems) of Western architecture from

18


classical antiquity to the present, with a focus on revealing their underlying grammatical structure. This book should serve both as an introduction to the classical orders for history and design students, and as a polemic-theoretical assertion that depth of expression requires depth and complexity of language. The principal methodological assertion is that the intent behind the orders is primarily "tectonic suggestion," i.e., visually giving a sense of the constructive-physical character of the building, and that that sense operates by suggestive metaphor--dependant possibly upon innate grammar of vision--not semiotic signification. The book is as much based on original drawings and photographs as text, and it concentrates on four periods: the inventions/origins of the orders in classical Greece; the Roman/Augustan revision; the High Renaissance and Baroque metaphorical development; and Post-Modern Classicism and other recent trends. Research and drawings begun and exhibited as a Visiting Scholar at The American Academy in Rome, fall 1998, supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation, Chicago, Illinois, 1998-99.Letter of interest from Cambridge University Press. Supported by Brown Distinguished Research Professorship, Southwestern University, 2000-2005.

The Juggernaut of Humanism: The Not-so-Absent Center of the Hyper-Culture of Post-Modernism: a cultural theory which asserts that beneath the diversity and appropriation of world-wide Postmodernism there lies a "deep structure" based on humanistic concepts widely shared across many interconnected and apparently discordant modern cultural groups and trends. The core of this theory presents Modernism (Renaissance/Baroque) as committing culture to knowledge structures which self-generate dynamism and diversity, particularly as embodied by scientific method, and eventually in modern Pop culture, while repressing awareness of its essential nature beneath the search for universals, and it presents Postmodernism as a period of coming to terms with the dynamic epistemology and fluid belief systems of modernity. In development in parallel with regular S.U. senior seminar on Postmodernism since 1996. Supported by Brown Distinguished Research Professorship, Southwestern University, 2000-2005.
