Instances of culture manifested in the built form
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis looks at select aspects of culture in the architecture of a Gothic city, Prague, Czechoslovakia, a Renaissance villa, the Rotonda and a Baroque church, San Andrea del Quirinale. It also looks at the number of ways man is represented in the architecture of the Church and Piazza of San Pietro in Rome through scale, proportion and geometry. Thirdly, it shows the development of my own buildings and objects, inspired by my study of the past.
