Precious, brilliantly colored stones arranged by skilled artisans
in intricate patterns that follow the designs of master architects
have been an important aspect of Italian architecture for
centuries. In this book, Kim Williams provides a detailed overview
of these beautifully designed pavements. From the second-century
Pantheon in Rome to the twentieth-century Santa Maria Novella train
station in Florence, Williams traces the evolution of pavement
design, points to characteristic design elements of each age, and
explains the various techniques and materials used.
Analyzing the pavements in relationship to their particular
architectural context, she shows how these designs heighten the
architectural experience and provide a key to understanding
architects' intentions. Williams also offers an in-depth analysis
of individual pavements in order to shed light on the proportional
systems, geometric constructions, symbolism and historical sources
for the design. Through her accurately measured, exquisitely
rendered drawings of the pavements, many of which have never before
been documented, these pavements are given their full due as
architecture and craft.
