Scholarship on Renaissance architectural drawing focuses overwhelmingly on works on paper, Yet building designs in this period were often also traced on walls and floors or out of string. This seminar explores the symbolic and experiential implications of this expanded understanding of graphic creation.
Morgan Ng is an assistant professor of art history at Yale University. His research explores the links between early modern architecture, visual culture, and technology, with a focus on the Italian Renaissance. Morgan is the author of Form and Fortification: The Art of Military Architecture in Renaissance Italy (Yale University Press, 2025).
His new book project, supported by a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, is an expanded history of Renaissance architectural drawing.
