摘要:This paper examines the tools and strategies of visuality in the city of Rome during the Imperial (27 BC- 476 AD) and the Renaissance periods (1300-1600AD). This paper aims to question how the architectural form of buildings in Rome illuminated the larger visual discourses of the two periods and will consider visuality primarily in architecture. It argues that the visuality of inner-city structures brings a critical reflection on the underlying implications of the architecture in Imperial and Renaissance Rome, in other words, a reflection on the ways Romans designed, built, and imagined their environment. This paper is broken into two parts: an introduction, which will set the context of my argument, and a guided tour, featuring a series of 'site-visits' to the buildings in Imperial and Renaissance Rome exploring their built form. Included in the guided-tour is a discussion evaluating the wider currency these discourses acquire as visual enterprises. [This paper has been removed by request of the author. 03/12/14]
