Timeless Cities, An Architect's Reflections on Renaissance Italy

Timeless Cities, An Architect's Reflections on Renaissance Italy

by David Mayernik

  • ART & ARCHITECTURE
  • 2005
  • PAPER
  • 274 PAGES

In this thoughtful book, Mayernik shows the philosophical and religious meaning behind the planning and architecture of Rome, Florence, Venice, Siena and Pienza. Not exactly a guide, nor a history, Mayernick's meditation on the buildings and texture of these very different cities is illuminating.  (ITL589, $18.95)
