Description

Leon Battista Alberti's De Re Aedificatoria is a foundational treatise on architecture and urban planning. First presented to Pope Nicholas V in 1452, it was not published until 1485. This work has had a lasting impact on the development of architectural theory and continues to influence contemporary thought. Alberti's production as an architect, painter, sculptor, writer, jurist, athlete, and philosopher is widely regarded for its significance in explaining the essence of architecture, the arts, and aesthetic thought. His writings provide valuable insight into the nature of these subjects as universal categories and values. This edition, published by Ediciones AKAL, presents a rare opportunity to engage with Alberti's influential ideas on architecture and urban design.
