Platonic Academy | Jieming Jin, Wei Chen | Advisor: Cecil Balmond, Ezio Blasetti | University of Pennsylvania | School of Design
The project is located in the ancient historical relics of the ancient Plato Academy. Plato was one of the most outstanding philosopher in human history. According to the Allegory of the Cave theory, one most the most famous theories from Plato, we try to use light as the form of good. In the atrium, the light can come down and reflect to the bottom part, which represents the light and the cave.
Also, we tried to use the Perfect Shape from Plato's theory system and moreover, we did a research on the higher dimensional space Platonic Geometry. You can find a mathmatical research essay about how to calculate the coordinates of Platonic Geometries in fourth dimensional space and videos at jieming.penn.design.
