Villa Madama, Raphael's late masterwork of architecture, landscape,
and decoration for the Medici popes, is a paradigm of the
Renaissance villa. The creation of this important, unfinished
complex provides a remarkable case study for the nature of
architectural invention. Drawing on little known poetry describing
the villa while it was on the drawing board, as well as ground
plans, letters, and antiquities once installed there, Yvonne Elet
reveals the design process to have been a dynamic, collaborative
effort involving humanists as well as architects. She explores
design as a self-reflexive process, and the dialectic of text and
architectural form, illuminating the relation of word and image in
Renaissance architectural practice. Her revisionist account of
architectural design as a process engaging different systems of
knowledge, visual and verbal, has important implications for the
relation of architecture and language, meaning in architecture, and
the translation of idea into form.
