Habel argues that these planning methods contributed formally and iconographically to the architectural future of Rome. Incorporating in-depth archival sources, working and presentational drawings, and the physical fabric of key monuments and their situation within the topography of Rome, Habel's study offers a new and innovative model for histories of urban architecture and planning. contents: PALAZZO DEL QUIRINALE: "In Stato di Regia Magnificenza" PIAZZA DEL POPOLO And THE GenesIs oF ALexAnDeR VIl's PROGRAM FOR VIA DEL CORSO PIAZZA S.
