This lecture explores the origins of modern domestic space through the lens of the Renaissance villa, tracing its evolution from ancient Roman latifundia to the diverse typologies of villas in the Renaissance period. The instructor delves into the architectural features and functions of country villas near Pompeii, the ideological underpinnings of rural life, and the various interpretations of the term 'villa' over time. The lecture also examines the significance of secondary villas in different regions, showcasing examples from Tuscany and beyond, and discusses the communal living aspects of longhouses in different cultures.
