Thought of "Idea della Architettura Universale’’ by Vinecenzo Scamozzi－Through the Mutual Relations between Architecture and Painting/Sculptureー

This paper aims to make clear the concept "idea della architettura universale" of the architect/theorist Vincenzo Scamozzi in the 16th century Italy, and to analyze the meaning and structure of this concept, through the mutual relations between Architecture and Painting/Sculpture.In the 16th century, Italy pushed forward the universalization of the concepts that integrate each art. Yet, Scamozzi constituted a logic that puts Architecture in a high position and puts Painting/Sculpture in its subordinate position. In this logic, the concept that has an important role is scienza. Architecture becomes a more excellent art than Painting/Sculpture, on the condition that it secures the inevitable relationship with the scienza. "Idea della architettura universale" of Scamozzi is the concept that was composed by the scienza. This means that invenzione/disegno and peritia dell'arte, which have a deep relation with scienza, compose the concept "idea della architettura universale",as scienza dose
