The Italian Renaissance Palace Façade: Structures of Authority, Surfaces of Sense (Res Monographs in Anthropology and Aesthetics) Book

The architectural facade -- a crucial and ubiquitous element of traditional cityscapes -- addresses and enhances the space of the city, while displaying, or dissembling, interior arrangements. In this book, Charles Burroughs traces the development of the Italian Renaissnace palace facade as a cultural as well as architectural and spatial phenomenon, and as a new way of setting a limit to, and defining, a private sphere. The author draws on literary evidence as well as analyses of significant Renaissance buildings, noting the paucity of explicit discusion of the theme in an era of extensive architectural publishing.Read More
