Leonardo Da Vinci's Architecture Drawings
Leonardo Da Vinci remains an architectural genius whose works were boundless even with time. It takes a special talent for one’s architectural works to be relevant beyond centuries. Da Vinci achieved that obstacle as traces of his inventions are still evident in the creations of helicopters, parachutes, and tanks. That leads into questions as to how Da Vinci synchronized his work to accommodate both traditional paradigms and the modern architectural concepts. The answer could be embedded in Da Vinci's brilliance in both art and science. This paper analyzes Da Vinci's architectural drawings and how he grounded his work on multiple philosophies. Analyzing Da Vinci's various aspects of drawings are vital to understanding his understanding of architectural prospects including matter and form, disegno, fictive architecture, and central plans.
A list of Quotes on Da Vinci's Matter and Form
* Da Vinci's works took a logical approach to solve practical problems.
* In classical Greek architectural philosophy, the opposition of oneness is linked to the multiplicity of existence. Da Vinci's explored matter and form as “the structure of things”.["Leonardo Da Vinci, Master Draftsman." Reference and Research Book News 18, no. 2 (05, 2003). https://search.proquest.com/docview/199628658?accountid=130654 (109)]
* The fact that matter is the possibility and form is the actualization means that Da Vinci's architectural drawings were acts of motion that shape organic growth patterns.
List of Da Vinci's Disegno Quotes
* Disegno translated into design superficially.
* Disegno was the means by which Da Vinci's reached optimal solutions for his futuristic designs.
* Disegno does not translate directly into “design”, but the exploratory phase of an architectural drawing.
* Disegno, hence, is the sketch of the drawing.
* In the confines of disegno, “Da Vinci's not only delineated forms, but he also planned the entire compositions”.[Peggy Saari & Aaron Saari, eds.; Julie Carnagie, project ed., Renaissance & Reformation, Primary Sources. Detroit : UXL, 2002(78)]
* The procedures are dissimilar for each architectural work. In his church drawings, “Da Vinci's works were rooted in calculated standards as opposed to the deceptive appearances that clouded architecture at the renaissance”.[Sterpetti AV. Anatomy and physiology by Leonardo: the hidden revolu-tion? Surgery. 2016;159:675–687. doi: 10.1016/j.surg.2015.10.001 (683)]
* The disegno skills are what allowed Da Vinci the freedom to transform patterns from a basic form into a multitude of forms.
* That is evident in his “exploration of form mutability in the sketches implying the proportions of the human body to transmute into buildings”.[Peggy Saari & Aaron Saari, eds.; Julie Carnagie, project ed., Renaissance & Reformation, Primary Sources. Detroit : UXL, 2002(78)]
* One of such aspects of ...
