{"product_id":"2940157858711","title":"The Portico Convention, Architecture as Poetry and Poetry as Architecture","description":"The Portico Convention is a new poetic form designed by G.F. Zaimis. Its shape employs a multi-disciplinary approach of integrating language with architecture while working with Comparative Literature and Contemporary Modernisms. The Portico incorporates Vitruvian principles and Golden Ratio ideologies. The new form, similar to an Echo archetype, is read both horizontally and vertically. Its name is appropriated from the portico of the caryatids belonging to the Erechtheion Temple located at the Acropolis. In theory and practice, the new form uses architecture as a connective matrix to integrate the arts and the sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN13: 978-1-938963-07-0 [eBook]\u003cbr\u003eISBN13: 978-1-938963-06-3 [Softcover] \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e   Definition\u003cbr\u003e   Provenance\u003cbr\u003e   Prototype References \u003cbr\u003e   Design Model\u003cbr\u003e   Proportions\u003cbr\u003e   Theory\u003cbr\u003e   Form\u003cbr\u003e   Design Elements\u003cbr\u003e   Meter\u003cbr\u003e   Rhythm\u003cbr\u003e   Shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eColophon\u003cbr\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003eBack Cover - The Caryatids poem","brand":"IDEAlab Editions by Blue Scarab Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103953371376,"sku":"2940157858711","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157858711_p0.jpg?v=1764109970","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157858711","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
