DESCRIPTION:In Sebastiano Serlio’s second of seven books on Ar
 chitecture\, “On Perspective” published in 1545\, 
 he described three types of theatrical scenes: the
  tragic\, the comic and the satiric. Of these\, th
 e first two were urban\, comprising public spaces 
 framed by buildings\, and highly influential in Re
 naissance theatre set design. The treatise also de
 scribes the characters and deeds that would be exp
 ected in each city type and as such remains a comp
 elling theory on the nature of urban reality. The 
 lecture will discuss the continuing relevance of S
 erlio’s tragic and comic scenes to urban design\, 
 as illustrated by contemporary projects including 
 several by David Kohn Architects.
