Redesigning Newton's Cenotaph
quantum spacetime and the state — the culture of politics and the politics of culture
Dimitrios E. Akrivoulis
pp. 254-271
Three years ago an architectural design competition was held to encourage new forms of architectural representation through the use of interactive multimedia and animated three-dimensional modelling. The aim was to create a project based on a mythical theme not presently extant in a physical state.1 Among the various themes provided — such as the abbey in Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Hotel California in the song by the Eagles and the Pleasure Dome at Xanadu from Coleridge's Kubla Khan — there was one that seemed the most challenging of all: Newton's Cenotaph.
