Versus Caelum

The inaccessibility of these buildings, their impressiveness, the fixity of their size. There are three elements that make the dome a "symbolic icon". The variety that tends toward unity, a way to reach out to the sky. When you look from bottom to top is difficult to steal all their complexity. The game time for layers creates a story that belongs to each architecture. The intrados sometimes simple, more richly decorated, becomes the symbolic reflection of the gaze of the visitor. Perspectives is deliberately central, where the eye is forced to miss the curved edges toward the center. The dome is placed well in relation to the universe, with the lantern to act as a symbolic antenna. The images seem so disturbed by the reflection of water drops that fall plants in a tank that closes, as in the pictures, the margins.
