Università Roma Tre

The course belongs to the category of elective courses and is therefore conceived as an in-depth study of some topics dealt with in the institutional courses of architectural history. The lessons will be dedicated to the history of architecture in Rome in the 16th century, which will be treated in the framework of Europe in the early modern age. The theme of the course for the year 2022-2023 is the Roman palace of the sixteenth century, which will be treated in the context of the Italian Renaissance palace by means of comparative and monographic lessons, adopting different methodologies, ranging from the investigation of material culture, the study of construction techniques, the analysis of drawings, to the reading of documents and primary sources. The course will be characterised by a didactic approach aimed at emphasising the relationship between the history of architecture and other disciplines (first and foremost the history of art, the history of economics and the history of literature), and between the different scales of the project (from the single monument, to the city, to the landscape).
The course is open to students of all Bachelor and Master degree courses.
