Abstract:

This paper sets Alberti's rules of architectural proportioning in the context of Renaissance mathematical practice. While Alberti makes didactic use of the well developed theories of harmony from music, it is shown that his architectural usage is not analogous to musical systema, even though the arithmetical foundations are shared. The common base for fifteenth-century musical theory and Alberti's architectural recommendations is Pythagorean arithmetic, derived largely from Nicomachus. Alberti also develops a geometrical approach involving magnitudes derived from the cube. Neither the diagonal of a face, nor the diameter of the sphere which circumscribes the cube are commensurable with its side. Alberti makes use of rational estimates for the square roots of two and three, and these ratios are evident in his work. Some examples are indicated for the purpose of linking theory to practice, but it is not the intention of this paper to analyse specific buildings in depth. The purpose of the paper is to suggest a potent theoretical frame within which future empirical investigations might flourish.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper shows the way Leon Battista Alberti treatise De Re Aedificatoria column systematization shape grammar was built, and how the longitudinal elevation of the nave of the Sant'Andrea church was designed, evidencing some steps involved in the grammar construction process, its derivation, and the partial outputs gained from the grammar evaluation. The goal of this grammar is to infer Alberti's treatise rules through a computational approach evidencing its algorithmic nature, illustrating it, and understanding the De Re Aedificatoria rules that may be applied in the generation of some parts of buildings such as the Sant'Andrea church, showing a complementary method to archaeological, bibliographical, historical ones, among others, that have been used to understand the built environment. The rules provided by the grammar may be applied to an initial insertion point to produce a complete column and to a pre-existing plan or section element of a building generating its facade. It was proved, evaluating the grammar with a simple linear regression method, to what extent the treatise influenced the design of the facade in the study.

Abstract:

A prescrição das igrejas de planta central, no tratado De re aedificatoria, tem suscitado indagações várias sobre a religiosidade de Leon Battista Alberti. Em simultâneo ao otimismo do tratadista com as “invenções” e “progressos” humanos, um elenco de escritos descerram juízos pessimistas sobre as instituições sociais e a vida em comum. Perquirir as diferentes modalidades compreendidas pela epistemologia de Alberti permite melhor perfilar as visões de natureza, de ordem cívica e do sagrado próprias do humanista.

Abstract Le Medidas del romano, ‗Misure dell'edificio romano‘, sono un manuale per riprodurre proporzioni, ordini, modanature degli edifici antichi: il primo trattato architettonico scritto e pubblicato fuori d'Italia, nel 1526, da Diego de Sagredo (Burgos, 1490-Toledo, 1528 ca.). Basate sul Vitruvio latino di Giocondo da Verona, sulla volgarizzazione del Ciseriano, sul De re aedificatoria di Alberti, propongono il classicismo rinascimentale italiano come risorsa decorativa, non concettuale. Fra tante traduzioni, nessuna comparve in Italia, dove si rifuggí tale atteggiamento culturale, presto generalizzato in Europa, reintrodotto di fatto in Italia dagli artisti stranieri e valutabile oggi come effettivo fenomeno storico di ―globalizzazione.

Abstract:

En los diez libros que conforman De re aedificatoria, el tratado de arquitectura de Leon Battista Alberti, la ruina expresa un modelo y una moraleja: es el último reducto donde anidan los rastros de una sabiduría perdida, y la firme consecuencia de un tiempo que todo lo devora, en sintonía con la violencia de la historia. A partir de esta doble enseñanza, Alberti busca instalar en su tratado ciertos principios de estabilidad. Buscando comprender estos principios, en el presente artículo nos proponemos analizar los conceptos de lineamenta (diseño) y materia (materiales) que el humanista nacido en Génova desarrolla en los dos primeros libros de su tratado, y ubicarlos en el marco de una historia construida, destruida, y vuelta a construir.

Desde la propuesta teórica de Alberti en De re aedificatoria (ca. 1450-1485), el camino de acceso a la villa constituye uno de sus componentes definidores por excelencia, integrado muy tempranamente como parte de su composición general. En relación con este elemento de ordenación, se estudia un conjunto de villas que presentan desarrollo axial –principalmente dentro del tipo aterrazado– con viales de acceso de notable longitud, todas dentro del período renacentista, desde el ejemplo más antiguo de Quaracchi (ca. 1453) o Castello (ca. 1538-1550), entre otros de Toscana, entorno de Roma o el Véneto, hasta casos españoles como La Fresneda (ca. 1562-1569) o El Bosque de Béjar (ca. 1567).

Abstract:

A photograph dating from the years of the Russian Civil War shows Vasiliy Pavlovich Zubov in the uniform of the Red Army: an unlikely conscript to it, given his poor eyesight (as betrayed by his thick glasses), but in fact one who served as a scribe in an artillery unit located near Moscow (Fig. 1). Another photograph, taken not long before his death in 1963, shows him in the greyish suit of the Khrushchev years: a survivor who, by becoming Russia’s greatest intellectual historian, managed to avoid playing any active part in political history (Fig. 2).Zubov is the towering figure of Russian architectural history in the twentieth century. The most pertinent way to introduce him here is as the Russian translator of Leon Battista Alberti’s De re aedificatoria (Fig. 3) and as one of the two co-translators of Daniele Barbara’s commentary on Vitruvius. The former treatise is notorious for the complexities of its text, and it took a team of three scholars to produce the most recent English translation. Understanding of the latter work demands such an extensive knowledge of both Renaissance and Roman intellectual history that it is considered virtually untranslatable, and the translation on which Zubov collaborated is the only one ever published in any living language. He was also the author of an extensive commentary on Alberti’s architectural treatise (Fig. 4), much praised by those Renaissance scholars who can read Russian, while those few of his articles on Leon Battista Alberti that were published in French or Italian during his lifetime are still widely cited today.

Abstract:

This article analyzes and interprets an unpublished Spanish architectural treatise that was written for Philip II while he was Prince Regent (c. 1550). The manuscript did not previously attract attention because it was mistakenly described as written for the king's son Philip (later Philip III) in the 1590s. The treatise, which is by no means a masterpiece of architectural literature, derives mainly from L. B. Alberti's De re aedificatoria, but the anonymous Spanish author used his sources selectively to make an explicit connection between morality and a restrained and orderly classical style. He was not concerned so much with buildings as such but rather with their moral dimension and their relevance to the contemporary Spanish state. His concern to articulate the principles of a Catholic, as opposed to pagan, classical style is matched by his eagerness to reform Spanish architectural practice along the lines suggested by Alberti. Simply as an expression of Counter-Reformation aesthetics the treatise is precocious and exceptionally explicit. The treatise was prepared for Philip who, the author states, requested it, which makes it the only known piece of architectural writing prepared especially for him. It brings crucial evidence about Philip's concerns with architecture in the 1550s, before the beginning of the Escorial in 1563, a subject for which historians were reduced to conjecture. The treatise adumbrates a program for reform that is virtually identical to the one Philip actually adopted in 1559. The evidence of the treatise suggests that the strong ideological implications of the style of the Escorial are not simply a post facto gloss but were a deliberate factor in the inception of the design.

Abstract:

The paper will show parts of a shape grammar that uses as corpus the Alberti`s treatise and buildings to see possible influence in Portuguese Architecture. The column systematisation grammar is a grammar of detail and some of the different elements of the column system (base, shaft, capital and entablature) may be connected with different orders (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite) showing different combinations. This system may be applied to generate some buildings namely Rucellai Loggia and palace facade, Santa Maria Novella Facade, Santa Andrea and specifically the subject of this paper the central nave longitudinal façade of the church São Vicente de Fora in Lisboa. Finally transformations rules are analysed mapping Alberti`s treatise influence in the work of the authors of the generated building.

Abstract:

Alberti´s treatise 'De re aedificatoria' (1443-1452) is considered the source of an anthropogenesis of architecture (Choay 2004). The reflexion on this narrative hasn’t yet explained the connection of narrative and architecture disciplines, although frequent allusions to architecture/rhetorical features (Choay 2004) and to the architecture narrativity (Ricoeur 1998), focused on structural semantics approach (Greimas 1995). Recently, 'narrative inquiry' (Clandinin, Connelly 2004) and philosophy of stories (Currie 2010) started an approach centered in structures of knowledge, created an insight to 'narrative ways of knowledge' elevating narrative study’s to an entry tool to grasp reality (Herman 2003). Our focus is that 'narrative thinking' is encoded in Alberti’s 'lineamentum', allowing the translation from non verbal to verbal, and our practice as actants, operating from spatial to experience. In this paper we address the interactions of the disciplines, explain what we know by designing architecture through narrative, grasping fictions as a storyworld inhabited by actants, in order to create inferences and to fill the gap between opposite narrated domains, and to explain how does narrative thinking addresses cognition of 'what isn’t but has been', with examples from written, drawn and built narratives.

Abstract:

Might it be possible to discern in Raul Lino's writings _namely those published in 1918 and 1933_ the profile of a modern treatise on architecture, in the early 20th century?Drawing parallels on Alberti's "inaugural" essay (Choay, [1980], p.25), an assay precept is outlined (‘pro tem’ less conceptual than it is pragmatic), with which to approach both Lino books, anent the design of the modern dwelling. From Choay's five teatrise-making hallmarks, a structural comparison is enacted between Vitruvius' and Alberti's treatises and those books of Raul Lino; from Krüger (2011), further benchmarks of form and schematics are highlighted, as are othersrelated to subject, objective and framework.Probing both publications under the "cost-effective, modern dwelling" design premise (Lino, 1933, p.51), the 1918 book flaunts, perhaps, a richer vitruvian undertone, and more akin to a "book […] on architecturalcomposition" (Vogliazzo, 1988-90)[1], featuring tips on construction, just as it were a practical handbook; the 1933 release, however, borders on albertine ‘inauguration’, and contends an artistic-architectural theory, encompassing of a system of ‘virtues’; the latter is almost a "commentator" (Choay, [1980]), paving the way to "protest" (Lino, 1933, p.96) in a time of criticism, and manifestos.[1] Vogliazzo holds that, "aside from Le Corbusier, the last books to truly focus on architectural composition" were written by Hermann Muthesius and Raul Lino (Vogliazzo, 1988-90, p.29); the correlation between Muthesius' and Lino's writings triggered an already ongoing comparison, akin to the present proposal;_Será possível reconhecer nos textos de Raul Lino, nomeadamente nos livros publicados em 1918 e 1933, características de um tratado de arquitectura moderno, a inícios do século XX?Estabelecendo paralelos com o texto “inaugural” de Alberti (Choay, [1980], p.25), elaboramos um princípio de análise, de momento mais funcional que de conceitos, destes dois livros de Raul Lino sobre a problemática do projecto da casa moderna. Partindo dos cinco verificadores de propriedade tratadística de Choay, estabelecemos uma comparação estrutural entre os tratados de Vitrúvio e de Alberti e estes textos de Raul Lino; a partir de Krüger (2011), sublinhamos outros aferidores de forma e sistemática, mas também de objecto, objectivo e enquadramento.Lavrando ambos no âmbito da teoria do projecto “da moderna casa económica” (Lino, 1933, p.51), será possível considerar que o livro de 1918 é mais vitruviano, próximo de um “livro […] de composição arquitectónica” (Vogliazzo, 1988-90)[1] com recomendações construtivas em jeito de manual prático; o livro de 1933 aproxima-se da ‘inauguração’ albertiana, propondo uma teoria artística-arquitectónica em torno de um sistema de ‘virtudes’; mas este último é também mais “comentador” (Choay,[1980]), abrindo passo ao “protesto”(Lino, 1933, p.96) em tempos de crítica e manifestos.[1] Vogliazzo considera que, “para além de Le Corbusier, os últimos verdadeiros livros de composição arquitectónica ”foram escritos por Hermann Muthesius e Raul Lino (Vogliazzo, 1988-90, p.29); a relação entre textos de Muthesius e Lino é mote para um paralelo, em desenvolvimento, análogo à presente proposta;

Abstract:

The research described in this paper is part of a project aimed to determine the influence of Alberti’s treatise on Architecture De re aedificatoria (1485) on Portuguese Renaissance architecture, making use of a computational framework. The paper focus on the theoretical foundations that permit to translate the treatise morphological and proportional descriptions of sacred buildings into a description grammar (Stiny, 1981) and a shape grammar (Stiny and Gips, 1972) used it in determining its influence on Portuguese Renaissance architecture. This approach follows the transformations in design framework proposed by Knight (1983), according to which the transformation of one style into another can be explained by changes of the grammar underlying the first style into the grammar of the second. Grammars are thus proposed as a complementary tool to be used in architectural history to test hypotheses raised after documental evidence. The paper reviews the three main stages of this research, presenting the methodology and results achieved in each one those moments. Firstly, it describes the process of inferring an initial description grammar and shape grammar directly translated from the De re aedificatoria and also the analysis of their derivation outcomes. Although, several affinities have been found between the solutions generated by the initial grammar and the Portuguese classical churches, others features remained uncertain. In the context of this research project, it seemed appropriate to consider the morphological and proportional design of Alberti most relevant churches to deduce transformations on the grammar. A set of Portuguese Renaissance sacred buildings were chosen and analyzed under the light of Alberti theoretical and design rules. This task was assisted by evaluating resemblances and differences between them and the recursive structure of the grammar, their rules, and the corpus of solutions derived from it. Finally, in order to achieve a grammar representative of the Portuguese Renaissance sacred buildings, further transformations were introduced on the grammar, gathering rules common to Alberti thoughts with Portuguese specific architectonic principles. Although along the process of grammar transformation several rules were added and the spatial relations were changed, the main recursive structure of the successive grammars was kept.

We hereby focus the study of the Albertian column system, as part of the Digital Alberti project, a research initiative that aims to shed some light on the influence of Alberti on Portuguese architecture.

This research complements the elaboration of the corresponding shape grammar on Alberti’s column system. This project is a paradigmatic example of the use of digital technology for understanding architectural tradition. The development of the referred models implied deepening the understanding of Alberti’s rules about the column elements. This in-depth analysis revealed a very coherent hierarchical structure ruling the relationships among the several elements. It also revealed that information was insufficient to inform a formal model of all them, especially the ones showing more complex geometry, such as the corinthian and composite capitals.

Abstract:

The legacy of Alberti’s 15th century treatise, De re aedificatoria(Alberti, 1988), on architectural theory and practice up to the present day is profound and wide-ranging. Indeed, the story of building over the last five and a half centuries is, in part, the story of the diverse interpretations, adaptations, and transformations of the rules of building that Alberti derived from classical architecture and laid down in his treatise. Interestingly, this story of transformations begins with Alberti himself — with his own adaptations and departures from classical rules within his own design practice and for his own time. In so doing, Alberti set the stage for others to transform rules, precedents, and traditions in innovative and context-specific ways.In this paper, design rules and transformations are introducedthrough the ideas and work of Alberti, and then expanded througha computational lens, specifically, through the lens of shape grammars.Four computational strategies for transforming designs to produce new ones are outlined and illustrated through prior shape grammar studies.In each strategy, the analysis of precedents is the impetus for design, and rules are the basis for practice. Though the computational format of shape grammars rules is unique and contemporary, the goals and potentials of shape grammars are very much in the spirit of Alberti.

Abstract:

In his fifteenth century treatise on building, De re aedificatoria, Leon Battista Alberti argued for the expansion of architectural purview through the inclusion of objects such as sundials and dovecotes on the grounds that the former marks and fundamentally registers human beings in time and space, while the latter acknowledges the possibility of constructed environments for other species. The long march of coincidence that denoted the inimitable life of Marie Antoinette has provided cover for leveraging subjects that have not yet been mined as architecture; much less as possibilities for critical exploration. The Vanity and Entombment of Marie Antoinette attempts to goad the limits of critical spatial inquiry by examining a series of salient artefacts from the queen’s monarchical life: the guillotine as incontrovertible threshold, cleaving life from death, mind from body, thought from matter; the carriage, which widened the experience of the world past the limits of human physiology, and placed architecture on the move; curtains and crinolines, those soft precincts between body and berth, which beg the question, ‘Is there architecture in the occupation of a material condition, however tight the stays of the corset may be?’ The Vanity is a conceptual project imagined for the Hall of Mirrors; an object that is indeterminately a diminutive architecture, occupiable furniture, and a sculptural deviation made to house the remains of Marie Antoinette and her lost wedding trousseau. The essay that follows is a fictional test of The Vanity’s measure – of its elasticity as a demarcation of narrative and milieu.
