ROMAN ARCHITECTURE
City of Concordia designed in SketchUp for Roman Architecture class at Yale
I attempted to balance the city symmetrically with wide streets to provide pedestrians unobstructed views and ease of locating services.
One of the two main streets, the Decumanus stretched east to west.
One of the bright focal points of the city, this brightly colored academy provides lofty ceilings to accomodate the eponymous discussions, arguments, and lectures.
With a giant oculus in the center of the dome, it allows for sunlight and inspiration.
Even a domed roof with an oculus couldn't keep this hot room from staying so!
The Capitolium was the seat of Roman authority.
Here, the temple of Jupiter stands in front of a square lined with native palm trees.
Inside the law court, there is plenty of space for viewers and for the lawyers.
Hot and fast food at the ready, served here!
The north-south street, the Cardo, is lined with triumphal arches.
