Description for Becoming an Architect in Renaissance Italy: Art, Science, and the Career of Baldassarre Peruzzi
Hardback. Num Pages: 224 pages, 35 color + 140 b/w illus. BIC Classification: 1DST; 3H; 3JB; AMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 289 x 257 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1360.
