Edward R. de Zurko,

Architecture, Modernity, and Design

Leone Battista Alberti's theories of architectural form and function are contained in his book, De re aedificatoria written about 1450 and first published posthumously in 1485.1 This book was probably the first work on architecture to be printed from type and anticipated by one year the first printed edition of Vitruvius.2
