Today, we had a longer drive and were able to learn about where our tour guide, Dimitri, spent some of his childhood and teenage years and also where his family has experienced as well. Before coming back to Athens, we visited the Epidavros municipality. I was excited to see the Epidavros Ancient Theater located nearby, and Dimitri taught us about the construction process and how the theater was built in the way that it was to amplify sound before technological advancements were ever made. He explained to us that the theater was built corresponding to the area’s topography so the acoustics would allow for sound to travel throughout the entire theater, which was built into a mountain. We were able to test the acoustics in relation to the natural slope of the mountain by having one person stay at the bottom level to speak, and the rest of our group moved toward the uppermost seating area to see whether or not the person could still be heard. We also learned that the materials used to create the theater allowed for sound to travel back and forth from the stage to the seating areas of the theater effectively, which relates to important engineering concepts. I felt inspired as Dimitri told us we cannot be engineers without appreciating art history, as art history provides a great sense of context for how engineering functions have evolved. I will apply this new knowledge to my professional practices because I now understand how art history relates to approaching engineering with a broadened perspective and previous applications influencing creative solutions and innovations.
