Ann Marie Borys presents northern Italian architect Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548-1616) as a traveler and an observer, the first Western architect to respond to the changing shape of the world in the Age of Discovery. Pointing out his familiarity with the expansion of knowledge in both natural history and geography, she highlights his truly unique contribution: to make geography and cartography central to the knowledge of the architect.
