The course explores in depth a meaningful chapter of the history of culture, which is a pivotal element of the education and the profession of architects. The course sets two primary objectives:
1. To improve the critical knowledge of the early modern architecture
2. To offer theoretical, methodological and technical tools to reading the architectural heritage.

Mutuazione: 21010055 ROMA E IL RINASCIMENTO in Scienze dell'architettura L-17 MATTEI FRANCESCA

Programme

The course explores the history of architecture in Renaissance Rome and offers an overview of the major research methodology, e.g. the analysis of the material culture, the history of techniques, the study of drawings and maps, the reading of literary sources. The course is based on an interdisciplinary approach, which will emphasise the relations among the history of architecture, history of art, economic history and history of literature. Students will be asked to work on the different scales of the project (single monuments, cities, landscape). The class is organised in monographic lecture, seminars, conferences and visits on site.
