Descrizione Compass and Rule - Architecture as Mathematical Practice
The spread of Renaissance culture in England coincided with the birth of the profession of architecture, whose practitioners became superior to simple builders in social standing and perceived intellectual prowess. This book explores the extent to which this professional identity was based on expertise in the mathematical arts and sciences.
