BP8

1. STONEHENGE | built fairly low. focuses on something greater than humans. circular. 
2. PARTHENON | built for the worship of athena. uses the landscape to its advantage.
3. BATHS OF DIOCLETIAN | start of the building higher up. made for the use of humans, no recognition of a higher divinity. 
4. ST. SERNIN | built up to show the authority that the church has over the city. shows more of the power of the church rather than the power of god. glorifying to themselves. 
5. CHATEAU DE CHAMBORD | horizontally and vertically focused. built completely centered around people. no respect to a higher divinity. 

they all relate to the beginning an each other because they all are focused on something, whether it be a higher divinity or humans. they are built to show the authority and power of whoever the building reflects. they also grow up structurally along the corse. they start off low and begin to grow vertically, as the ego's of people begin to grow as well. 

the nautilus shell represents how they all go around a circular motion. 
the circular motion shows how they all relate back to the beginning and each other.
