The church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, also called San
Carlino, is an architectural artefact that continues to attract
numerous hypotheses and geometric analyses attempting to explain
its form and meaning. Numerous investigations have attempted to
reveal its underlying geometrical principles, without, however,
reaching a consensus. Finding San Carlino presents an edited
collection of perspectives on Borromini's famous Baroque church
from a range of established and emerging scholars in architectural
history and theory, including Werner Oechslin, Karsten Harries,
Michael Hill and Lauren Jacobi amongst others. This book offers the
reader different means of engaging with, enjoying and articulating
San Carlino's complexity, non-consensus and ambiguity. It is
precisely such a unique disposition that motivates this book to
explore multiple modes of architectural enquiry and delve into a
series of theoretical and historiographical questions such as: why
was Borromini not able to post-rationalize his architecture with
his drawings? What is San Carlino's exemplary value, and why does
it continually engender exegetical and hermeneutic desire? What is
the role of geometry in architecture, in history and today? Written
for researchers, scholars and postgraduate students in
architectural history and theory, the book uses San Carlino as an
enigmatic centering point for a set of significant contemporary
voices to explore new modes of confrontation and comparison.
