Hadrian and the Frontiers of Form
Architecture often stands in its own sculptural right, but how much richer we are to explore its genesis The emperor Hadrian, ruling a kingdom much like our United States in its cultural diversity and strength of influence, realized a design of marvelous paradox in his Villa at Tivoli. This paper seeks to knit together the formal elements of the villa with the human sensibilities of Hadrian by presenting notes from several seminal works, including Mémoires d'Hadrien by Marguerite Yourcenar (Librarie Plon, 1958), and Hadrian's Villa and Its Legacy by William L. MacDonald and John A. Pinto (Yale University Press, 1995).
