Brunelleschi and Bramante
Compare two buildings from these two architects: Brunelleschi and Bramante.
– Focus on the buildings’ general organization, typology, functions, the geometric principles ruling their facades, or the configuration of their interior and exterior spaces. To support and enrich your argument, you might refer to other buildings too. For example, imagine comparing the architectural order in Alberti’s Rucellai Palace with Brunelleschi’s Foundling Hospital. You could use Rudolf Wittkower’s essay on Alberti’s architecture to explain their different use of walls and columns, arches, and entablatures. Moreover, you could mention references from the past, such as the Roman Colosseum or the Basilica Julia.
-Please provide the following drawings to support your analysis of the two architectures:
– 1 Plan (or) 1 Section + Elevation drawing for each of the 2 buildings
– 1 Isometric drawing for each of the 2 buildings
– 1 Scheme or detail for each of the 2 buildings, to better explain your argument
(A detail of the building, a scheme of the proportional modules ruling the plan/facade, a diagram of function/circulation/composition)
– 2 photographs for each of the 2 buildings
Use Chicago Manual Style
