Public research bureau

Logos & Evidence

Meaning, but with receipts.

A small research bureau for suspiciously large questions.

We build public research artifacts - films, models, maps, generators, and field notes - to test ideas in the open.

What this is

Logos & Evidence starts with practical instruments, not grand theory.

A lighting project becomes a model.
A model becomes a question.
A question becomes a public artifact that others can test, correct, and extend.

The point is not to declare meaning from above. The point is to build something specific enough that evidence can push back.

Episode 01

We Tried to Model One Church. We Found a Grammar.

We began with one real building: the Cathedral of the Iverian Theotokos in Zugdidi, Georgia. The task was practical - model the form, understand the structure, and test lighting logic. But once the church became parametric, the model started asking a larger question: can architectural form behave like a grammar?

Zugdidi is the real modeled target. Jvari-like and Samtavisi-like variants are generated typological resemblances, not reconstructions.

Artifact

Church Grammar Explorer

A public research instrument for testing Georgian church-like forms.

Try the parameters. Find where the grammar holds - and where it breaks.

Not a reconstruction tool. Generated variants are questions, not historical proof.

Method

Practical instruments first

We build tools before we build claims.

Evidence boundary

A model can suggest where to look. Evidence carries the claim.

Public correction

If you know better sources, terminology, examples, or counterexamples, we want to hear from you.

Corrections / sources / collaboration

Corrections, sources, strange questions

Found a mistake? Know a relevant source? Have a church, city, district, or architectural question that should become a public research artifact?
