SIX INCHES OF ROME
Fall 2015 | Prof. Jaime Correa | 13 Partners
The largest drawing in the history of the University of Miami’s School of Architecture was a massive, collaborative effort, and measures 9 feet by 13.5 feet. The fourteen students, who were selected from a competitive field of applicants for the Rome study abroad program, carefully documented and divided the Fontana dei Libri into 486, six inch by six inch squares. Each student was assigned a random assortment of squares to hand draw, and all the squares were then assembled into the final cohesive drawing, which was ultimately displayed in the Korach Architecture Gallery.
