| Abstract: | The conception of Villa Doria Pamphilj (ca. 1646) by Francesco Borromini (1599-1667) can be considered one of his most intriguing unbuilt projects. At the time this dwelling was specifically conceived to host the Cardinal Camilo Pamphilj, nephew of Pope Innocenzo X. This project by Borromini is combined with a memorandum written by Emmanuel Maignan (1601-1676) who was Father of the Minim Order and lived in the Convent of SS. Trinità dei Monti in Rome for a period. This handwritten by Father Maignan features a series of scientific wonders which were conceived to adorn Pamphilj's villa and the sorrounding gardens; these games represent the in-depth interest which aroused the study of optics, gnomonics, pneumatics, acustics and magnetism in the Baroque era. My Phd. thesis speculates about the digital recostruction of this villa and the scientific games matching the typical Borromini's poetic composition with the mathematic elements added by Emmanuel Maignan. Due to the particular philosophical and cultural atmosphere which inspired architecture in 18th century Rome, this research will develop the topic of René Descartes' thought (1596-1650) - a key personality in the European context of that time. In fact several interesting connections with the science of the representation arise from Descartes' effort to develop and spread a new method of inquiry |
