Translations across symbolic forms and architectural shifts require meaning necessary to create logic. They challenge us to examine fundamental metaphors as an aspect of design reasoning, particularly in relation to the construction of spatial relationships and meanings. They also involve the exploration of diagrams as a way of moving from the space of linguistic description to architectural space where topology and visual image are tightly interfaced. This project will explore The Divine Comedy into an architectural schema and will be examined as a case study. The Divine Comedy is treated as an expanded body of work that includes; in addition to the original text, a multitude of paintings, as well as Terragni’s project. Although the Divine Comedy is composed of Inferno, purgatorio and Paradiso, We will be Exploring the stages of Inferno and we will form our own understanding of afterlife and curate architectural spaces from linguistic description.
