A massive exhibition of 421 works and items. Each is reproduced in full colour with additional colour and black and white comparative figures. Catalogue of Palazzo Grassi"s exhibit on architecture. "Palazzo Grassi has found a way to overcome the impossibility of phisically moving the subject matter - the buildings themselves- by assembling and exhibition of the original scale models built by the Renaissance architects to illustrate their projects." "Elsewhere in this catalog other contributors eloquently illustrate the fruits of the profound and often tortous research carried out into both works and authors, the real legacy of this extraordinary exhibition which, owing to the very complexity of its contents, has prompted the organizers to set up a special seminar for further discussion." The annotated catalogue addresses more than 400 items, and many are illustrated here in larger form. Contents as follows: Models in Renaissance architecture / Henry A. Millon -- The relation of sculpture and architecture in the Renaissance / Kathleen Weil-Garris Brandt -- Reflections on the early architectural drawings / Christoph Luitpold Frommel -- Religious architecture in Renaissance Italy from Brunelleschi to Michelangelo / Arnaldo Bruschi -- Living all'antica : palaces and villas from Brunelleschi to Bramante / Christoph Luitpold Frommel -- The Italian city, 1400-1600 / Nicholas Adams and Laurie Nussdorfer -- The panels in Urbino, Baltimore and Berlin reconsidered / Richard Krautheimer -- The Renaissance of architecture / Hubertus Günther -- Ordo, fondo et mensura : the criteria of architecture / Oswald Mathias Ungers -- The regions of Italian Renaissance architecture / James Ackerman -- The urban structure of Naples : utopia and reality / Cesare de Seta -- The tale of two cities : Siena and Venice / Carlo Bertelli -- St. Peter's : the early history / Christoph Luitpold Frommel.
