dc.description.abstract |
The Attalid acropolis at Pergamon is acknowledged to be a masterpiece of fine urban design. Roger Ling calls it the finest architectural composition of the Hellenistic age, dispensing altogether with orthogonal patterns and growing organically out of the landscape in a fan-like series of terraces in which the auditorium of the steep hillside theatre forms “a kind of valve”. We see most clearly in the plan how stoas and courtyards of the city seem to have been constructed to radiate like rays of the sun from the demountable wooden stage-house of the open-air theatre far below. It is as if the city itself were the “audience” in a highly theatrical architectural composition. The paper inquires as to aesthetic intentions that might have motivated this curiously theatro-centered metaphor or urban spectacle. |
