Alan Gorley
Alan Gorley is a British mathematician and professor at the University of Oxford, known for his groundbreaking research that challenges long-standing myths about the architectural design of the Parthenon in Greece. His recent study utilizes detailed mathematical modeling to argue that the supposed optical illusions corrected by the Parthenon's architectural features, such as its curved base and entasis, are either nonexistent or negligible. Gorley's work not only revisits the historical interpretations laid out by the Roman architect Vitruvius but also questions the enduring perception of Ancient Greece as a pinnacle of architectural wisdom.
