Architectura: Italy Drawn

Architectura teaches you to read a building the way architects draw it. Forty-two measured line drawings in the EPRIS Museum's style, from every region of Italy: the Pantheon in section with the live sun of Rome falling through its oculus, the Colosseum, Trajan's Column, the Arch of Constantine and the Pont du Gard; Pisa, Florence, Siena, Assisi and Urbino; Venice, Turin, Genoa, Bologna, Ravenna, Vicenza and Palmanova; the Arch of Augustus at Aosta and the cathedral of Trento; Pompeii, Matera, Castel del Monte, the trulli, Stilo and the gate of Saepinum; Monreale, Agrigento and the nuraghe of Barumini. And Milan in detail, with a walk through it: the Roman columns of San Lorenzo, Sant'Ambrogio, the cathedral front and its section up to the golden Madonnina, the Castello Sforzesco, Bramante's tribune at Santa Maria delle Grazie, La Scala, the Galleria, and the Velasca, Pirelli and Bosco…
