This class will
provide an exploration into the urban morphology, architecture, and
civic life of Renaissance Rome. The city was a thriving center for architectural
practice. It drew practitioners from throughout the peninsula and served
as an important theoretical model for architects elsewhere. We will
survey the important issues, individuals, and building projects of the
city between 1450 and 1600 with particular emphasis on the intellectual
and physical rediscovery and re-appropriation of Antiquity; the role
of the Vatican with its large population of pilgrims, tourists, resident
church officials, foreign bankers and dignitaries that made specific
demands of the built environment; and the unique topography and natural
resources of the city’s location. The last portion of the course
will address the legacy of the Renaissance during the period of Italian
Unification and the Fascist regime. |
