I'm interested in the pyramid as a modern architectural form, and more generally as an Archetype. I hope this project will convince you of its universal appeal.

This Pyramid Web Project poorly represents a prospectus for a book: PYRAMID DESIGN: Architecture, Art, Form, and Power. The book will include construction details, design decisions, descriptions of each pyramid, anecdotes, profiles of architects, an so on. It will explore pyramid structures from residential to massive scales. The book will also include a applications of the pyramid form to such things as stoves, awards, candles, and graphic elements. There will be a mathematical treatment of the pyramid, and a bit on its use as a theme in paintings and sculptural works

I'm may not expand or keep the web pages up-to-date during the development of the book, although I may add some timely elements.

Understanding: Pyramids TV Program

Featured in the program was two pyramid homes in Idaho designed and built by Architect Ron Hexum. But not a virtual walk through of one of his latest design.

The Great Pyramid

• Recent Discovery at the Great Pyramid. Link to a 1995 news article from a London newspaper about the exploration of a shaft in the Great Pyramid via robot which lead to an unexpected suprise. The project to take a look beyond the end of the shaft leading out of the Queen's Chanmber via optic fiber was to happen in May 1996, but the antiquities director refuses to work with the original engineer. See The Upuaut Project Home Page, by Rudolf Gatenbrink.

Other Pyramids?

Glass Pyramid (prism) Please let me know if you know of a good source for pure white glass (crystal) pyramids. My apologies to a supplier that I have e-mail from. Will check it out asap.

I have obtained other pyramids via bibliographic searching, e-mail, and bookmarks in my browers. Time doesn't seem to permit adding them. I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon.
