Day Forty

Hiking along Via dell'Amore




Monday, February 15th 2010

Today I woke up around 9:00 and went to the school to meet with Simone about working in the print room. In ‘Forces that Shape Cities’ Frantoni gave one of the best lectures that I’ve heard thus far. He talked about architecture theory and the Renaissance- the rebirth of antiquity and “The Vetruvian Man” by Da Vinci. I would love to go into detail about “On the Dignity of Man” and Alberi’s “Ten Books of Architecture”, the role of the architect in the Renaissance and designing ‘the perfect city’, but doing so would be like re-writing Frantoni’s lecture. After class, two and a half hours later, I went up to studio for an hour or so before I worked out at SWAN and ran 4-5 miles. After I ran I made dinner- pork chops and salad, and went back to the school and skyped before I went back to my room to get some shut eye before the fingerprint screening tomorrow.. ugh. Why I can’t be somewhere else… like Cinque Terre or Paris?!
