ITALIAN RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE

Paper 3: The Type of Monument
At this point, your Renaissance patron is ready to conceive a suitable monument to him or herself. ART class addresses many types of potential monuments that should inspire you. There are secular monuments, primarily in the form of palaces commissioned by merchants and churchmen (cardinals and popes), but also in the form of infrastructure: bridges, roads, piazzas, aqueducts, fountains. We also discuss ecclesiastical monuments (churches and chapels) and we see in many cases that the boundaries between secular and ecclesiastical are not distinct (a sacristy also used as a family mausoleum; a papal chapel that celebrates a particular dynasty). Remember that your monument should be appropriate to the identity and goals of your patron. For this assignment you must describe the type of monument and its location, provide a detailed description of the layout and a drawing of a floor plan, and describe all relevant architectural features and their significance (i.e., does it have a dome or a particular facade design? is it made from a significant type of stone, etc.?). Because you need to provide considerable detail, this assignment must be two to three pages in length (typed, double-spaced text in a 12-point font with one-inch margins), not counting illustrations.

at least 700 words.
