Cammy Brothers Authors Book on Michelangelo and Architecture

Assoc. Professor of Architectural History Cammy Brother's new book examines Michelangelo's drawings as demonstrative of his dynamic thought processes. In "Michelangelo, Drawing, and the Invention of Architecture" (Yale Univ. Press, 2008), "unlike previous studies, which have focused on the built projects and considered the drawings only insofar as they illuminate those buildings, this book analyses his designs as an independent source of insight into the mechanisms of Michelangelo's imagination," said Yale University Press. "Michelangelo, Drawing, and the Invention of Architecture" is available for purchase at the University of Virginia bookstore and will soon be available at New Dominion in downtown Charlottesville.

Architecture Students Share Study Abroad Experiences Using the Internet

{From Inside UVA Online} As the fall semester came to a close, architecture professors William Sherman, Peter Waldman and Earl Mark sat together in the Naugahyde Lounge just inside the School of Architecture?s entryway. Sherman?s laptop rested on the table in front of them, about six feet away from a 52-inch TV monitor and a camera focused on the three. The professors were engaged in thoughtful conversation. However, they were conversing not with one another but with 16 architecture, landscape architecture and architectural history students located more than 4,000 miles away. The group was participating in the school?s semester-long program in Venice, Italy.
