In the history of building, Tommaso Temanza is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Tommaso Temanza as architect.
Tommaso Temanza was born in 1705. His recorded nationality is Republic of Venice.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect, writer and art historian.
His best-known building is La Maddalena. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Republic of Venice shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Tommaso Temanza died in 1789, aged 84. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
