Thesis Proposal
December 14th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
A semester later and I now have a proper thesis proposal with a clear direction. I’ve decided to study San Giovanni in Fonte (aka. the Lateran Baptistery). There has been a lot of speculative, non-invasive archeological research on the building subject. However, the research has not left such realms. My proposal outlines a way of analyzing the building’s use, or perhaps reuse, of architectural elements through memory, thus tying this building an my thesis back into the discussion on Roman regulation of memory, spolia, and on the theological evolution of the rite of baptism. 2011 should be an interesting year.
Here is a link to my proposal if you feel inclined to read it: The Use of Memory in San Giovanni in Fonte. If you do, post your thoughts and feed back. I welcome it all.
Thanks and enjoy! Tyler[Re]oriented Design – tylerthayer.com – © 2010
