Leonardo's Vitruvian man, ad quadratum and ad triangulum, the normative Ionic, and the feminine Doric in Rome

Not only did I reconstruct the absent architectural form—from the proportions of the exterior order to the shape of the roof—I also imagined what it would be like if it were frescoed and stuccoed...

For my sake as well as for that of my former colleagues and students, allow me to outline what systematic thinking means for architects.

I suppose the word “New” insulates New Urbanism from expectations that it corresponds to the old or pre-Modernist way of making cities and towns.

the Ca’ d’Oro is not composed like a typical, or normative, Venetian palace.

Tradition is a modern idea.

What more can be said or done about the classical orders? Maybe still something...

The culture of classical humanism provides the firmest foundation for rebuilding a liberal architecture.
