Abstract

T HE DETERMINATION OF REGIONAL STYLES is a recognized part of Greek architectural studies. 1 Such discussions have focused on ground plans, use of refinements, or ways in which architects solved specific problems common to all buildings.2 This study introduces roof design as another means of recognizing regional building practices, as expressed in the form and function of the geison. Because of the geison's position at the top of the entablature and the edge of the roof geison design reflects both the technical and the decorative aspects of the building and provides positive evidence concerning roof construction. Since wood from ancient Greek buildings is not commonly preserved, the woodwork of the ceiling and roof must be reconstructed from indirect evidence, such as the cuttings in stone members of the entablature and tympanum. In particular, the rafter beams generally came into contact with the lateral geison3 (Fig. 1). The most thorough study of this subject is Trevor Hodge's book, The Woodwork of Greek Roofs (1960). On the basis of his own survey of extant geison blocks, Hodge recognized two basic forms, the flattopped and the sloping-topped geison, each with several subtypes. But while Hodge acknowledged the diversity of forms, he maintained that the distribution of types of geison blocks revealed no chronological or geographical pattern.4 The present study reexamines preserved geison forms from the Greek mainland and Sicily and brings new observations to bear on two specific areas of Greek architecture: the identification of a West Greek style of roof design and the role of Sicilian architects in the creation of a tie-beam truss.
古代时期西希腊对希腊大陆屋顶建筑和桁架的影响的证据
区域风格的确定是希腊建筑研究中公认的一部分。这样的讨论集中在地面规划、改进的使用或建筑师解决所有建筑物共同的具体问题的方法上本研究将屋顶设计作为识别区域建筑实践的另一种手段,通过建筑的形式和功能来表达。由于geison位于屋顶的顶部和屋顶的边缘,geison的设计既反映了建筑的技术方面,也反映了建筑的装饰方面,并为屋顶施工提供了积极的证据。由于古希腊建筑的木材通常不被保存下来,所以天花板和屋顶的木制品必须根据间接证据重建,比如门框和鼓室的石头构件上的切割。特别是,椽梁通常与侧盖接触3(图1)。对这一主题最深入的研究是特雷弗·霍奇(Trevor Hodge)的著作《希腊屋顶的木工》(1960)。根据他自己对现存盖森地块的调查,霍奇发现了两种基本形式,平顶盖森和斜顶盖森,每一种都有几个亚型。但是,虽然霍奇承认形式的多样性,但他坚持认为,各种盖森块的分布并没有显示出时间或地理模式本研究重新审视了希腊大陆和西西里岛保存下来的盖森形式,并对希腊建筑的两个特定领域提出了新的观察:西希腊风格的屋顶设计的识别和西西里建筑师在绑扎梁桁架的创造中的作用。
