the architecture: San Carlo of the 4 fountains
Term
Borromini, [plan of] San Carlo [alle Quattro Fontane, ROME is the four fountains
Definition
Borromini had to build his church on a highly limited and asymmetrical corner site. Consequently the plan of the church is indeed complicated, and to that epoch-making in the history of architecture. One could say that the basic design of the plan is elliptical, but the already existing fontain on the cut-off corner was to the effect that the architect had to omit a chapel from an earlier design. Borromini decided to create a spatial unity by incorporating the chapels into the ellipse. The shape of the site didn't admit any radiating chapels. The design of the plan shows, that the architect had basic geometry in mind. Although the adornment of the interior conceals most of the architectural structure, the entablature reveals the design of the plan. The plan isn't really an authentic ellips; it's a rhomb with circularly respectively elliptically shaped corners. In reality the plan of the interior is composed of two equally sized equilateral triangles put together. The common base of the triangles constitutes the transverse axis of the interior plan. The billowing circumference of the executed plan follows this rhomboid shape with great precision. But, then again, the ground plan can be interpreted in a variety of ways...
