  Dominion of the Sacred

  Image, Cartography, Knowledge of the City after the Council of Trent ("In_bo" vol. 12, no. 16)

  Between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Italian political geography was polarized by a number of cities of different sizes and traditions: Rome and Florence, Milan and Naples, Genoa and Venice, Turin and Modena, either ancient republics or new dynastic capitals, satellites of the great European monarchies or small Signorias.

  Construction Techniques and Writings on Architecture in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe

  Thematic issue of the journal Opus Incertum (Florence University Press)

  The 2020 issue of the open access journal Opus Incertum (Florence University Press) aims to examine, through selected case studies, the complex relationship between construction practices and architectural writings in Renaissance and early modern Europe. Situated at the crossroads of several disciplines (architectural history, history of science and technology, history of literature), the subject can be approached from different perspectives. To begin with, confrontations of texts on construction techniques with the material realities of extant buildings may reveal, for specific contexts, to what extent these texts operated as vehicles for the transmission of technical know-how, and how much weight they gave to topoi borrowed from ancient authors.

  Colloque - Histoire

  Philippe de la Hire, entre architecture et sciences

  Philippe de la Hire (1640-1718) fut membre de l'Académie royale des sciences et s'intéressa aux sciences les plus variées (géomètrie, hydraulique, gnomonique, mécanique, astronomie...). Il fut aussi un peintre reconnu, inscrit à l'Académie de Saint-Luc et devint professeur à l'Académie royale d'architecture. Un colloque pluridisciplinaire réunissant historiens des sciences, historiens de l'art et historiens de l'architecture permettra de mieux mesurer l'importance de cet homme aux savoirs multiples tant en étudiant les aspects de sa carrière qu'en le confrontant à ses contemporains.
