Chora 4 cover

Aims to uncover architectural alternatives to simplistic models based on concepts of aesthetics, technology, or sociology. This work explores historical topics ranging from antiquity, with a study of the Roman Colosseum; through early Renaissance subjects, such as the treatises of Luca Pacioli on architecture.Chora IV continues a tradition of excellence in open, interdisciplinary research into architecture.

"The Chora series constitutes an original, necessary, and very important enterprise in the field of the critical history of architecture. The authors interpretations in a wide variety of subjects and themes contribute to an essential renewal in our appreciation for history and theory of architecture."
