Archetypal Geometry
On this weekend course we will be guided on a pictorial, hands-on ascent through geometric archetypes. At its summit we will encounter a beautiful figure of interconnecting curves that have the potential to become points or lines. Equipped with compass, ruler, pencil, and paper, we will descend from these archetypal heights and explore the most important constructions of projective geometry as manifestations of this archetypal figure. By presenting these diverse constructions, which are typically used to introduce projective geometry, as expressions of a geometric archetype, this course offers an exciting introduction for beginners as well as a unifying perspective for advanced practitioners.
