Architectural Field Research of the Athena Pronaia Sanctuary at Delphi

1)在1995年的实地调查之后，1996年夏天对雅典娜普罗纳亚保护区进行了调查工作。在这份调查报告中，我们以1：30的比例绘制了Tholos的平面图和剖面图，并以1：5的比例绘制了从建筑物中拆除的街区。该计划的细节是在通过航空摄影绘制的基础计划上增加的。2）建筑技术分析Tholos是由于斜坡的逐渐滑动而变形的，其精确直径是模糊的。通过我们的分析，茎突的直径计算为13.4870米，相当于45英尺在古代的脚系统。该建筑是在简单比例的基础上设计的，并显示出与雅典帕台农神庙的可能性，因为4：9的比例可以确定，而且材料是Pentelic大理石。3）研究的评价研究的价值首先是我们可以制作详细的建筑文件，这是研究古典纪念碑的原始和必要的。本研究所获得的图纸和尺寸数据是必不可少的，世界上所有的研究人员都可以共享这些信息。研究的第二个价值是对梭罗建筑技术的新分析。在日本建筑学会九州分会分支学术会议上发表了部分成果。我们将继续进行更详细的研究。

1) Drawings of the architectural remainsFollowing the field research in the season 1995, the survey work of the Athena Pronaia Sanctuary was carried out for the Tholos in summer of 1996. In this suevey, we made a plan and section of the Tholos in scale of 1 : 30, and drawings in scale of 1 : 5 of the blocks which had been dismantled from the building. To the plan the details were added on the base plan which had been drawn through aerial photograph.2) Analysis of the building techniqueThe Tholos was deformed being caused by gradual sliding of the slope, and its precise diameter was vague. Through our analysis the diameter of the stylobate was calculated as 13.4870 m which is equivalent to 45 feet in ancient foot system. The building was designed on the basis of the simple proportion, and shows the likelihood to the Parthenon in Athens because the ratio of 4 : 9 can be identified and also the material is Pentelic marble.3) Assessment of the researchThe value of the research is first of all that we could make the detailed architectural document which is original and essential in the study of the classical monument. The drawings and dimensional data which were gained by this research is indispensable and all the researchers in the world can shara the information. The second value of the research is the new analysis of building technique of the Tholos. Wepublished partially the result in the academic meeting of Architectural Institute of Japan, Kyushu Branch. We are going to continue the research further in detail.
