The Parti is based on two main directions.
According to Greek mythology Clio was partnered with King Pierus of Pella and he was the father of her child Hyacinthus, Pella was in Macedonia which is directly north of the site. I have thus used the direction north to represent the side of her life that is conservative following the path that society expects of her; getting married having children, studying art and music.
The other main angle points downwards in a south westerly direction towards the sanctuarys of Apollo and Athena and is symbolic of the part of her life and aspirations that is contrary to that of societies, her desire to study history, science, religion and philosophy, her independence and solitude. Using these 2 ideas and geographical locations I have created a grid which I have used as the main basis for my design.
