Architect Drawings : A Selection of Sketches by World Famous Architects Through History

NOTES
1. While Carmen Bambach (p. 170) argues that ‘Both extant designs by Leonardo coincide closely in
their outlines, but not precisely, proving that they are not direct prickings of each other.’ I believe that
irregularities of the points line up in some areas so precisely that they must have been pricked at the
same time. Although I would concede that the drawing may have been initially and partially pricked
and later altered as Leonardo’s thinking process allowed him to transform ideas using the sketch.
2. As to attribution, I am apt to agree with Anthony Blunt’s suggestion and am willing to ascribe
the sketch to de L’Orme with the caveat that more research would decide the controversy (Blunt,
1958).
