»From Page to Stage: Illustrated Architectural Theory of the Italian Renaissance in the Collections of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Library« − Lecture by Dr. Moritz Lampe

How was knowledge of ancient architecture rediscovered, developed, and transformed in the Italian Renaissance — and how did it inspire the design of new theatres? Drawing on rare architectural treatises from the collection of the University Library Weimar, subject librarian Dr. Moritz Lampe explores how architects such as Cesare Cesariano, Sebastiano Serlio, and Vincenzo Scamozzi communicated their ideas about body, space, and perspective through richly illustrated printed works — long before these concepts took physical form in buildings.

This lecture is held during the Long Night of Sciences.
