Next session: 19 November - Richard Ibbett
Richard Ibbett, an architect whose many commissions include the Artist’s Hall at Waterperry House, will explore the idea of Concinnitas.
Concinnitas is a word that is central to understanding the ideas of beauty in art, architecture, and oratory as expressed by a central Renaissance figure, Leon Batista Alberti. Richard will trace the idea back to Plato via an important work in Stoic philosophy, Cicero’s De Oratore. He will consider how the meaning of Concinnitas has evolved in the hands of Alberti to become a concept of huge influence.
