Prescribed Order Without Use

AAAndres Sebastian Bonomi Aguirre

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore how monumental architecture, specifically Aksumite stelae, maintains architectural grammar while not serving a habitation function.
  • Extended the ORA framework to monumental architecture
  • Analyzed architectural grammar of Aksumite stelae
  • Conducted feasibility modeling
  • Utilized process-based stress tests to evaluate explanatory models
  • Identified architectural grammar preserved in Aksumite stelae despite lack of habitation
  • Demonstrated restriction as a key factor in encoding prescribed order
  • Provided insights into the non-functional aspects of monumental structures

Abstract

Extending the ORA framework from objects to monumental architecture, this paper analyzes structures that preserve architectural grammar while denying habitation. Aksumite stelae are treated as prescribed order encoded through restriction rather than function.The study integrates feasibility modeling and process-based stress tests to evaluate explanatory models rather than propose extraordinary conclusions.
