Floor plan of Rome's Palazzo Farnese, designed in the 16th century by Antonio da Sangallo and Michelangelo.
Among the earliest of technical images are architectural drawings. This example is from an 1868 book depicting the 16th century palace begun by Antonio da Sangallo and completed by Michelangelo. The image was taken from Paul Marie Letarouilly's Édifices de Rome moderne; ou, Recueil des palais, maisons, églises, couvents et autres monuments publics et particuliers les plus remarquables de la ville de Rome, published in 1868.
At the workshops, scientists engage architects and designers in conversations about how they depict structure and form.
