DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRIES:
ANALYTIC SKETCHES OF ROME

LOCATION:

ROME, ITALY

[FALL 2017]

During my semester in Rome, I participated in an extensive sketching course focusing on the analysis of interior and exterior building logics, urban site context, and spatial understanding. The course, Architecture of the City, explored many historic churches, palaces, and public spaces. Pictured are a select few pages from my sketchbook, highlighting the descriptive geometries of architectural and urban works. 

Featured sketches: the Capitoline Museum; an analytic of Piazza del Popolo; the approach to St. Peter’s Basilica and Piazza San Pietro; the Capitoline Hill; the Capitoline Hill in plan and section; the Spanish Steps; the Aqueduct Park; a detail of the Colosseum; the Ara Pacis temple; the Pantheon; Castel Sant’Angelo; the approach to Santa Maria della Pace; St. John Lateran in plan.
