How I built the da Vinci temple (8th of April 2011)

Press play in the window above to start streaming from YouTube. The video is a 7-minute clip made for Croatian television by reporter Jozefina Stipaničev. It has been aired on the show called "Trenutak spoznaje". The video is in Croatian, but you may see some images of interest. The video describes my 3D virtual reconstruction of the da Vinci temple and the whole story is based on a popular lecture that I held at the Institute of physics in Zagreb on 25th of March 2011.

On the images below you can see some of the slides from my lecture.

The image above shows how I decorated the temple doors, with designs similar to those made by Leonardo while he was trying to "square the circle".

And here is Leonardo's hair (again). A little inset shows Leonardo's sketch of the temple and the position where Leonardo's hair was installed (on the place where Leonardo had put sculptures).

The image above shows the center of the temple viewed from the "hall". One can see a levitating icosahedron.

I put polyhedra also in seven rooms that border the central space, and one of them is shown in the image above.

For all of you that read for the first time about my reconstruction of da Vinci's temple, a good start to get informed is to read >> THIS post.
