Description

This paper examines his architectural theory on the relation between a perfect human body and a basilican church. According to his theory, a church shoud be built, based on the analogy of the perfect human body and all his intellect and sensibility shoud be concentrated on its project. The concept of the perfect human body is accepted as a principle of the architectural composition by Francesco di Giorgio, influenced through Vitruvius and his contemporary thinkers. Francesco di Giorgio applicates the proportion of the human body, not only on the proportion of a column and an architrave, but also on the compositional structure of a whole church. Further more he extends this to a geometrical method and he finds out a module geometrically, acceding to the classical tradition. In this meaning, execept for the symbolical and semantic signification of the anthropomorphism, he finds out a effective system for the whole structure of a church in that concept. From this point of view, a church can be considered as an arche-type of all buildings.
