Architecture through the Ages: Leon Battista Alberti and the Art of Architecture

Join us as we discuss the art of architecture of Leon Battista Alberti:

humanist, scholar, author, mathematician, priest, poet, designer, athlete,

cryptographer, mapmaker – in sum, a true Renaissance man. In the fifteenth

century, he elevated the role of the architect from manual craftsman to

intellectual professional, designing classically inspired, well-proportioned

buildings in which he sought to create concinnitas, a sense of harmony that

would act to bring “all that music” together.
