CFP: Quattrocento Architecture (RSA, Miami, Mar 07)

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Looking at the Overlooked in Quattrocento Architecture and Architectural
Treatises

RSA Renaissance Society of America Annual Meeting,
Miami, 22-24 March 2007

Quattrocento architecture and architectural treatises are studied almost
exclusively by scholars of art history, who usually disregard elements not
related to their traditional domain, such as ritual, magic, astrology,
alchemy, cosmology, ideal city, utopia (social, political), eastern influence,
travel literature, architecture parlante, art of memory.
Sessions will focus on Alberti, Filarete, and Francesco di Giorgio Martini.
But all proposals concerning Quattrocento architecture and architectural
treatises are welcome.
