Comment on Greeting 97 Hello there! I have noticed that your book, the «Architecture moderne, ou l’art de bien bâtir pour toutes sortes de personnes tant pour les maisons des particuliers que pour les palais / [Charles-Etienne Briseux]”, written by Claude Jombert and Charles Etienne, shares a few similarities with my book, «Il Nuovo Splendore…

«Architectura Civilis» written by Joseph Furttenbach (argument_25) was the first book I came across during my searching. The similarity between this and my book is, that the authors write a lot about public buildings like churches and chapels. These buildings are analyzed by the authors, and they explain, how they are constructed. They both work…

I think the connection to the notebooks of leonardo da vinci is a really interesting one to be made,and one that works for my books as well.

Greetings_36 I think your book has some similarities to mine regarding its illustrations and layout.

Even though there might be less illustrations in my book, the authors of our books approached the topic of the fortification in a mathematical way with lots of formulas. The book: “Architectura militaris” by…

Fabian Kohler For this exercise, I turned to the essence of my book “Theatrum Architecturae civilis”. It could be considered a guide to architecture, covering many aspects of the field. From the actual construction of walls, columns, and so on to more fundamental conceptual knowledge such as proportions, geometry, symmetries are also present. To all…

Task 4: Connections François Blondel – Nouvelle manière de fortifier les places (1686) The first book in which I could directly find several similarities was by Francois Blondel; Nouvelle manière de fortifier les places. It was published only one year before L’experience de l’architecture militaire, written in French and deals with the subject of military…

I’ve been wondering all along how the book list was arranged. Is it arbitrary or is there a purpose behind it? Now I was asked to find out my burning question in the last assignment ‘task 4’. Trivial as it may seem, I began my research with the bare name of my author: Isaac Ware….
