After spending several winters in the wood frame house that occupied the property, John and Mable decided to build a home of their own – the opulent, Italian-inspired Ca’d’Zan (“House of John”). The Ringlings, who had traveled extensively in Europe scouting out circus talent, were by this time great admirers of Venetian architecture. They hired New York architect Dwight James Baum to design a home that would draw inspiration from Mable’s collection of postcards, sketches, and photos collected during the couple’s trips abroad. Ca’d’Zan was constructed between 1924 and 1926, at the then princely sum of $1.5 million. Its 36,000 square feet sit on a waterfront site measuring 1,000 feet long and 3,000 feet deep. Constructed from a combination of brick, concrete, and terra cotta “T” blocks, the home is faced in stucco and terra cotta and is embellished with glazed tile. Decorative medallions, balustrades, and ornamental cresting in soft hues of red, yellow, green, blue, and ivory highlight the pink patina of the exterior. A terrazzo terrace made from domestic and imported marble overlooks the bay on one side of the house, and an 82-foot tower with an open-air landing crowns the tile rooftop. Inside, the main floor includes living, entertaining, and dining areas. The Ringlings’ private chambers and five guest bedrooms are found on the second floor, spaced around a balcony that overlooks the airy central court. The third floor houses a large, fancifully decorated game room and bath. On the fourth floor there is a great beamed guest room and bath with windows on all four sides. In Ca’d’Zan, Dwight James Baum successfully created a Venetian palazzo with all the modern conveniences of an expensive 1920s home. Today, the home stands as testament to the skill of its architect, the craftsmanship of its builders, and the aesthetic vision of its inhabitants. 3 Accurate MEASUREMENTS were indispensible in the design and construction of Ca’d’Zan. In order for the building to “work” – both in terms of functionality and appearance – it had to be designed with consideration for length, width, height, weight, area, perimeter, and many other measurements. Try the following activities to practice taking measurements and manipulating them to solve real-world problems. M WORDS TO KNOW: area, perimeter, mosaic, terrazzo easurement Museum Activity GOAL ACTIVITY To measure the perimeter Take students to the terrazzo marble terrace on the west side of and area of rectangles. Ca’d’Zan. Find a rectangular section of the terrace that contains a complete zigzag design. (One good spot is at the northern end of the DURATION terrace, near the side of the house.) 20 minutes Divide students into 4 teams. Have each team measure one side of the rectangular floor section. Teams then add up their measurements to find the rectangle’s perimeter. Then, have teams use multiplication MATERIALS to find its area. Rulers, pencils, paper, clipboards FOLLOW UP Have each team find the perimeter and area of a single tile within the STANDARDS design. Count the tiles contained in the section of floor that you’re MACC.3.MD.3.5 working with. Does the entire section’s area equal the areas of each individual tile added together? Why is that so? MACC.3.MD.3.7 MACC.3.MD.4.8 4 Classroom Activity GOAL ACTIVITY To create a pattern using Copy the Tile Pattern Template onto sheets of gray, pink, orange, black, rectangles of a given green, and white paper. Cut out the individual tiles from these sheets perimeter and area. (or, have students do this as part of the activity). Divide students into DURATION small groups, and give each group a sheet of poster board. Instruct 30-45 minutes groups to draw a rectangle that measures 15” by 17 ½” on their poster board. Give one colored tile to every group, and have them find MATERIALS its perimeter and area. Ask: How many tiles will your group need in Copies of Tile Pattern order to completely fill up the terrace rectangle?

After students roll their clay flat, challenge them to form it into rectangles with various perimeters and areas. Once you’ve DURATION practiced a few times with different dimensions, have all students 45-60 minutes (over 2 class create rectangles of the same area and perimeter. Students can periods) decorate the surface of their tile however they wish. MATERIALS FOLLOW UP Rulers, clay, sculpting tools, After the clay tiles are dried and fired, have students experiment in access to kiln groups to arrange the tiles in designs with different areas and perimeters. STANDARDS MACC.3.2.4 VA.3.F.1.1 / VA.3.S.3.1 5 When Dwight James Baum drew the plans for Ca’d’Zan, he relied on SCALE to communicate his design to the contractors and engineers who would actually construct the building. Today’s architects use the same method of creating scale drawings and/or scale models to capture a building’s entire design in miniature. In the following activities, students will determine scale and use it to create their own designs. WORDS TO KNOW: scale, floor plan, footprint, façade Museum Activity GOAL ACTIVITY To determine the scale used in Lead students to the northeastern corner of the Ca’d’Zan terrace. an architectural drawing. Divide them into 4 teams, and instruct each team to measure and record the length of one wall along its base. Then, pass out copies DURATION of the Ca’d’Zan first floor floor plan. Have students identify their 15-20 minutes wall on the plan and measure it. Using division, students then calculate the scale used on the floor plan. MATERIALS FOLLOW UP Rulers, pencils, paper, Move to the front of the building and have students choose a clipboards, Ca’d’Zan floor plan section of the house façade to measure on the floor plan. Using (see appendix) the scale they calculated, students then determine how long the STANDARDS actual wall segment should be. Students can check their MACC.6.RP.1.3 predictions by measuring their chosen wall sections. S MACC.7.G.1.1 cale 6 Classroom Activity GOAL ACTIVITY To create scale drawings.

  • Digitizing John Ringling's Wisconsin Train Car at the John and Mable
    Digitizing John Ringling’s Wisconsin Train Car at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida DAVIDE TANASI, KAITLYN KINGSLAND, MICHAEL DECKER, MICHAEL CELESTIN University of South Florida, FL, USA The John and Mable Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida is home to the private train car of John and Mable Ringling, named the Wisconsin after John’s home state. This unique train car served as the house on wheels for the tycoon and circus king during his frequent journeys around the United States. Since John was in charge of book the circus and purchasing new acts and equipment across the country, John and Mable found that most of their time was spent in this mobile mansion. In order to expand the accessibility of the train car to the public and to assist curators in 3D printing new train car parts for conservation and replacement. The University of South Florida’s Institute for Digital Exploration (USF IDEx) digitized the Wisconsin train car using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and digital photogrammetry. The completed digital model was uploaded to the 3D model sharing website, Sketchfab, for dissemination to the public, providing access to the interior of the car which is currently closed to museum visitors. Segmented portion of the 3D models were used to create individual 3D models of furniture, parts of which were 3D printed out in real scale and treated in order to resemble to originals made out of wood or metals. The virtual Wisconsin also served to provide valuable information and assist in understanding this Gilded Age train car to curators, researchers, and the wider community.

  • Subsymmetry Analysis of Archiectural Designs, Some Examples
    Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 2000, volume 27, pages 121- 136 Sub symmetry analysis of architectural designs: some examples Jin-Ho Park Department of Architecture and Urban Design, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA; e-mail: [email protected] Received 1 December 1998; in revised form 28 April 1999 Abstract. An analytic method founded on the mathematical structure of symmetry groups is defined and some applications to the analysis of architectural designs are shown. In earlier work by March and Park, architectural designs were analyzed with respect to a partial ordering of subsymmetries associated with the symmetry of the square and then classified by lattice diagrams of the subsymmetries. The analytic approach dem- onstrates how different subsymmetries may be revealed in each part of the design and how various symmetric transformations combine to achieve the whole design. At first glance, the individual designs seem intricate and without obvious symmetry. However, an analysis of the sub symmetries and symmetric transformations clearly exposes the underlying structure. In this paper, the methodology employed in previous papers is substantially recounted, but new architectural examples have been added. The methodology of subsymmetry analysis In the methodology, various types of symmetry, or subsymmetries, are superimposed in individual designs and illustrate how symmetry may be employed strategically in the design process. An account of the mathematical structure of symmetry groups in analyzing architectural designs has been given over the last ten years by Lionel March in his graduate lectures at UCLA on the Fundamentals of Architectonics: Symmetry (reading materials for this course include Baglivo and Graver, 1976; March, 1995; + March and Steadman, 1971; see also Budden, 1972; Grossman and Magnus, 1964; Griinbaum and Shephard, 1987; Shubnikov and Kopstik, 1974; Weyl, 1952).

Dioptric anamorphosis, for instance, was the ‘science of miracles’ through which Hobbes imagined his Leviathan. An example of the optical wizardry of seventeenth century clerical mathematicians, a dioptric anamorphic device used a mirror or lens to refract an image that had deliberately been distorted and exaggerated back into what a human eye would consider a natural or normal perspective. Many such artefacts played with pictures of the faces of monarchs or aristocrats. Here the viewer would be presented with a panel made up of a multiplicity of images, often emblems representing the patriarch’s genealogical ancestors or the landmarks of his estate. A second look at the panel through the optical glass, however, would recompose the various icons, as if by magical transubstantiation, into the master’s face. Noel Malcolm has exposed the place that the optical trickery of anamorphosis played in Hobbes’ political theory of the state (Malcolm 2002).

  • Subsymmetry Analysis and Synthesis of Architectural Designs
    BRIDGES Mathematical Connections in Art, Music, and Science Subsymmetry Analysis and Synthesis of Architectural Designs Jin-Ho Park School of Architecture University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, HI 96822, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper presents an analytic and synthetic method founded on the algebraic structure of symmetry groups of a regular polygon. With the method, an architectural design is analyzed to demonstrate the use of symmetry in formal composition, and then a new design is constructed with its hierarchical structure of the method. 1. Introduction The approach of subsymmetry analysis and synthesis of architectural designs shows how various types of symmetry, or subsymmetries, are superimposed in individual designs, and illustrates how symmetry may be employed strategically in the design process. Analytically, by viewing architectural designs in this way, symmetry which is superimposed in several layers in a design and which may not be immediately recognizable become transparent. Synthetically, architects can benefit from being conscious of using group operations and spatial transformations associated with symmetry in compositional and thematic development. The advantage of operating the symmetric idea in this way is to provide architects·a method for analysis and description of sophisticated designs, and inspiration for the creation of new designs. The objective of the research resides in searching out the fundamental principles of architecture. A study of the fundamental principles of spatial forms in architecture is an essential prerequisite to the wider understanding of complex designs as well as the creation of new architectural forms. In this I stand by the Goethe's theory of metamorphosis in The Metamorphosis of Plants.

  • Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, 1924
    Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, 1924 “Be cautious and bold … there’s a sucker born every minute.” —P.T. Barnum Dear Delegates, Hello and welcome to WUMUNS 2018! My name is Miranda Reed Twiss and I am thrilled to be your committee director for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey majoring in Psychology and Islamic Studies with a minor in Arabic. As a former circus performer who almost went pro (I went to circus camp for a few summers in middle school), I’m extremely excited to kick off our very first circus committee! The committee begins in September of 1924. You are all members of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows circus troupe, and you as a committee have full control over the circus. As both performers and administrators of the troupe, you are taxed with working together to make your traveling circus troupe as successful as possible. Your collective goal is to keep your circus running and successful and to increase profits both as a whole and individually. From traveling choices to split loyalties, from questionable motives to financial managing, the challenges you face stand to be a real three-ring circus. If you navigate the politics and inner workings of circus life well, you will find yourselves rich and powerful. If you fall into disarray, you could lose your jobs and your futures. Every delegate in the committee has equal voting power but varying access to individual resources, including money, outside connections, and specific abilities within the circus. Note that this is the circus, a business built around big personalities; ability to portray a character both in interests and in personality will be a key component to success in this committee.
