- This book makes an important contribution to understanding the creative exchanges between architects, artists and intellectuals in the relationships between architecture and language in early modern Italy. The study examines linguistic debates among members of the clergy, humanists, philosophers and polymaths, and contemporaneous developments in architectural thinking and practice. It draws upon a significant body of primary and secondary sources during research periods in Rome and Florence. The work is the first attempt to challenge modern misconceptions of ‘architecture as writing’, by taking a historical perspective of the way buildings and urban spaces shaped the communicative dimensions of human exchange.
