7 AIA LUs and 7 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture
No epoch has so powerfully shaped our current understanding of what architecture is as the Renaissance, a period during which the architecture of classical antiquity became the subject of intense study. The effects of this massive research project can be seen not only in the drawings and designs of such masters as Brunelleschi, Bramante, and Michelangelo, but in the treatises of authors such as Alberti, Filarete, Serlio, and Palladio. Inspired by Vitruvius’ Ten Books on Architecture, these treatises continue to shape the theory and practice of architecture to the present day. This seminar surveys the contents of the most influential architectural treatises of the 15th-17th centuries in Europe and suggests how their findings and claims have relevance for practitioners and critics today.Dr. David Gobel is a Professor of Architectural History at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where he has taught classes for over twenty years in the history of cities and gardens, modern and Renaissance architecture, and the classical tradition. Dr. Gobel has written articles on a variety of topics and is co-editor of Commemoration in America: Essays on Monuments, Memorialization, and Memory (University of Virginia Press, 2013), one of five co-authors of the Buildings of Savannah (UVa Press, 2016) and guest editor of Classicist 13 (2016), on The American South.Image: Abraham Bosse, Traité des manieres de dessiner les ordres...
