The architectural facade addresses and enhances the space of the
city, while displaying, or dissembling, interior arrangements. In
this book, Charles Burroughs tracks the emergence of the facade in
late medieval Florence and then follows the sharply diverging
reactions of Renaissance architects to new demands and
possibilities for representation in both residential and
governmental contexts. Understanding the facade as an assemblage of
elements of diverse character and origin, Burroughs explores the
wide range of formal solutions available to architects and patrons.
In the absence of explicit reflection on the facade in Renaissance
architectural discourse, Burroughs notes the theoretical
implications of certain celebrated designs, implying mediation on
the nature of architecture itself and the society it serves and
represents, as well as on the relationship between nature and
culture.
