A building that I found to be most interesting this semester was in one of our more recent lectures of Rome. St. Peter’s Basilica although we only studied a few parts of the building and site is an absolutely breath taking building. Like we have mentioned before, there are some buildings that we could spend a whole lecture on understanding its past and features as well as the multiple architects that were involved, and St. Peter’s would be one of those. It’s monumental dome and incredible colonnade around its large entrance for a major gathering space in itself creates an incredible approach. The most impressive feature of this building/site is it’s size and monumentality! I have done a large scale axonometric and plan/section which revealed some of the amazing details of structure and space within.
