Abstract (en)

Traces the development of the building type of the academy of arts and sciences in the 18th c., going back to its precursor in the art academy. Notes that the new type of academy developed from the desire to integrate the dominant fields of knowledge with the new social aims of the 18th c. Focuses on projects for academies of art and of arts and sciences from competitions at the Accademia di S. Luca in Rome and the Académie royale d'architecture in Paris, and observes that the only academy of arts and sciences that was actually built in the 18th c. was the Accademia of Mantua, designed by Piermarini.
