Description
Florence A Map of Perceptions by Andrea Ponsi is a personal and poetic exploration of the city's architecture and essence. Through his observations, Ponsi reveals Florence as a place of intricate geometry, medieval density, and sudden views of sky framed by piazzas. The author's unique perspective on the city is characterized by its recurring patterns - square courtyards, triangular spires, octagonal plaques and pillars - which he marvels at with wonder. He also contemplates the way buildings and inhabitants blend together, creating a sense of human-scale urbanism. This book offers a fresh and intimate view of Florence, one that is both visually stunning and intellectually engaging.
