Recombinant Renaissance

Exploring the work of some of the most noted figures in Italian architecture in the 16th century, this course investigates the multiple combinative authorships—the various authors and authorities—at play in any given architectural figure and any of their works. It explores new forms of investigation in the digital humanities, to which the digital visualization techniques of architecture can make a fundamental contribution by evolving beyond merely documenting a building to provide innovative modes of critical and historical analysis.
