1.5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Elective) | 1.5 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective
This lecture presented by James Cooper—Associate Professor of Architecture at Penn State and a researcher on the architecture of Michelangelo—examines Michelangelo鈥檚 design process for the Campidoglio in Rome. Two sheets of sketches by Michelangelo are here identified as studies for a preliminary design for the fa莽ade of the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Campidoglio in Rome, which were probably carried out in 1537. Parker 332 verso, at the Ashmolean Museum Oxford, which consists mainly of plan details, has already been associated loosely with the Campidoglio. Casa Buonarroti 42A, a partial fa莽ade with miscellaneous details, is traditionally associated with the Laurentian Library, but is identified here for the first time as the Palazzo dei Conservatori and an elevated version of the Parker plan.In this program, Professor Cooper will present his argument that these drawings represent an unknown design by Michelangelo carried out for the Palazzo dei Conservatori, inspired by his penultimate scheme for the ricetto of the Laurentian Library in Florence, in which he intended to utilize as much of the existing fabric of the quattrocento palace fa莽ade as possible. It will be argued that the scheme was abandoned due to compositional difficulties when the project for the Capitoline Hill was expanded to encompass the entire piazza, which would include new, unified facades for both the Palazzo dei Conservatori and Palazzo del Senatore and the additional Palazzo Nuovo.The program will end with open Q&A with the instructor.

Jamie Cooper's research focuses on Michelangelo鈥檚 architecture, especially his use of drawing and precedent in his design process. Other research interests include ancient Roman architecture and urbanism, the architecture/urbanism of fin-de-siecle Vienna, and the late North American works of Mies van der Rohe. Cooper's interests, education, experience, and skills in architectural design, drawing, and history/theory are inextricably linked, and have led him to develop a unique methodology and philosophy for both his research and teaching. He approaches architectural history from the combined perspectives of an experienced designer and architectural historian, and uses analytical drawing, sketching, diagraming, as well as computer modeling as primary investigative tools. He developed and used this methodology for his Ph.D. dissertation on the architecture of Michelangelo, especially his designs for the Campidoglio in Rome, and for two recently published articles on the Laurentian Library and the Palazzo dei Conservatori. Analytical sketching and drawing is also central to his investigations of the history and architecture of the ancient Forum at Pompeii.
