| Contents | The course will address the use of classical architecture as an architectural language in the History of Architecture. The course will cover major architectural and urban episodes placed in different periods, with the following periodization: architectural order and its components; Romanesque architecture; Gothic architecture; Renaissance architecture; Baroque architecture; Neoclassicism; Industrialization and Modernisms; Chicago School; Vienna Secession; Art Nouveau and Catalan Modernism. |
| Reference texts | Handbooks: - Autori Vari, Lineamenti di storia dell'architettura, Armando Edizioni, 2019 (oppure Roma, Sovera Edizioni, 2018 o precedenti). - W. Curtis, L'architettura moderna dal 1900, Phaidon, 2006. During the course, the Professor will supply students with PDfs of articles, essays and texts on the topics addressed. This material will be available on Unistudium with access key. |
| Educational objectives | The course provides cognitive support and the necessary critical tools for interpreting architecture from Romanesque period and the early twentieth century. Students must master the fundamental competences of history of architecture, namely periodization; nomenclature; founding elements; construction techniques; the building site; materials; compositional themes; architectural typologies; design and historical survey; representation of architecture; the commissioner's role and the relationship with the figurative arts; the project and its capacity to change the environment, the city and the territory over time. |
| Prerequisites | Knowledge of the topics treated in the History of Architecture course 1. In addition, the student should possess basic historical and cultural knowledge related to the historical periods covered. |
| Teaching methods | Ex-cathedra lectures, thematic and seminar insights, study visits. |
| Other information | The history of architecture embraces a series of exemplars that effectively document its phenomenological, symbolic and social value. Visiting these exemplars is essential when taking this subject, since it enables students to study first-hand the physical features of the buildings and their spatial and material characteristics. Hence visiting the works under study in situ is recommended to gain a more complete knowledge of them. Florence: Baptistery; Santa Maria del Fiore, church, dome, bell tower; San Miniato al Monte; Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi; Santa Croce, Pazzi Chapel; Santa Maria Novella (façade); Piazza della Santissima Annunziata; Palazzo Medici Riccardi; San Lorenzo, church, Old Sacristy, Laurentian Library, Medici Chapels; Palazzo (façade) and Rucellai Loggia; Santo Spirito, church and sacristy; Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Rome: Tempietto of St. Peter in Montorio; Capitoline Square; St. Peter's, basilica, canopy, piazza; Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona; Cornaro Chapel in Santa Maria della Vittoria; Scala Regia in the Vatican; Gallery of Palazzo Capodiferro-Spada; Church and convent of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane; church of Sant'Agnese in Agone; Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza. |
| Learning verification modality | Oral exam on the entire program, from Romanesque architecture to Modernisms (Art Nouveau, Catalan Modernism and the Vienna Secession). Each student (if she/he wants) can provide the necessary iconographic material on a pc, tablet or paper. To pass the final exam students must show that they have achieved the objectives of the course. In particular, they must possess an in-depth knowledge (including the chronology, commissioner, design process, distributive and structural characteristics, materials, spatial and formal aspects) of the buildings explained in the "Programma esteso". |
