This authoritative work of architectural history presents a comprehensive account of the Renaissance, tracing the transformation of European building traditions from the fifteenth to the sixteenth century. Benevolo chronicles the rise of humanist ideals in architecture, detailing how classical principles were revived and adapted to new civic, religious, and domestic contexts. He illustrates the achievements of architects such as Brunelleschi, Alberti, and Palladio, situating their innovations within the political and cultural currents of the period. The text argues for the Renaissance as a decisive turning point in the history of design, where proportion, perspective, and urban planning reshaped the built environment.
