Thomas Jefferson, Octagonal Architecture, and the Tower of the Winds
Court Lindahl explains his hypothesis regarding the Arcadian theme, starting with Thomas Jefferson's use of octagonal architecture at Monticello and Poplar Forest. These structures are traced back to the Greek Tower of the Winds in Athens, which served as an ancient time-keeping laboratory and center point for mapping. Lindahl describes how these octagonal points allow for straight-line plotting on a globe without complex arc calculations.
