| Discussion | Palazzo Strozzi Commentary
"Strozzi's design culminates the Florentine palazzo 'pattern,' which favors a flat facade of three stories—each level marked by a prominent full-width stringcourse (horizontal banding)—topped by an outsize cornice.... Stone of almost theatrical rustication commands the facade, with semicircular arches crowning all the major openings. Note that the radating voussoirs (wedge-shaped stones) of the arches increase in length as they rise to the keystone. Divided two-arched windows with varying ornamental panels are typical of the upper floors, while squarish windows mark the lower. A haughty main entrance leads to a central courtyard." — from G.E. Kidder Smith. Looking at Architecture. p68. | ||
