Structure ofArchitettura civile Treatise
• Five-part division• Tratt. I• Tratt. II• Tratt. III• Tratt.IV• Tratt.VWhat is the meaning of
this?

Hierarchical Order of Treatise andCosmos
• clear division in treatment of mathematics,from universal, celestial, sublunary/mundane
• corresponding divisions in cosmology asindicated above
• vision of Bettini known to Guarini, fromineffable point to lowest order of corruption,decay, mediated by projection andmetamorphosis

Guarini’s Grand Form –Cosmic Mimesis
The hierarchical/cosmic order manifested
in his philosophy and in his mathematics
is reflected directly
in his architecture

The Rise of InstrumentalityIn the Architettura Guarini introduces the
concept of the geometrisation of architecture,the consideration of elements beingconstitutive of a ‘language’, his only indicationof being influenced by probably the Albertianconcept of a painting ‘language’ andcomparable to the work of contemporary Fr.Milliet de Challes S.J. and later Ch. d’Aviler’sgeometrisation of the Orders.
