VI 107 (= 2851) and Parisinus Lat. 6702 (olim 6307), were corrected by Alberti carefully and attentively, though these corrections were not applied consistently or indeed at a single time; in other words, one part of the text was corrected and another part not. The existence of some errors which are shared by the whole tradition, and which very probably come from Alberti himself, and the absence in the known mss. of a title which can be attributed to Alberti, show nevertheless clearly that this great, anomalous novel, which is the indisputable masterpiece of all his lusi, was never published in Alberti's lifetime. And these facts furthermore make it possible to affirm that the title, De principe, which is present in the first edition of the work (Rome, É. Guillery, 1520) and which was later placed by C. Bartoli alongside the only plausible title in the Italian version which the latter published in 1568 (Momo, overo Del principe), and repeated up to the editions and Italian, German, French and Spanish translations even up to the end of the XX th century, is nothing other than an apocryphal title and, depending on the case, an extremely improbable subtitle, but one which is nevertheless an erroneous suggestion and which in the exegetical sense leads in the wrong direction. Momus is in fact openly and only de Homine, and its subjects are: the "ineptiae", or rather the state of "homunculus" and "muliercula" to which men and women often, willingly reduce themselves; and the disorder which they cause, and which the gods which they have given themselves prolong, by the insignificance of their actions or deeds. Momus only invokes the Prince in as much as it is one of the many masks which humans have always been delighted to wear.

One of the project tasks entailed the translation of the treatise's textual descriptions concerning the morphological, proportional and algorithmic principles of the sacred buildings into a shape grammar. Subsequently a computational model was developed, in order to proceed to the derivation of examples of the same language. This article discusses the use of analytical shape grammars to undertake an architectural analysis, as well as the fact of the source of this grammar and correspondent architectural language to be a text instead of a set of buildings and designs. It reviews the methodology to implement the shape grammar and describes the several stages of development, following the interpretation of treatise into a consistent set of shape rules, by defining their spatial relations, parameters and conditions. It also reviews the implementation of this knowledge into a generative parametric computer program through visual programming language Grasshopper.

This investigation is part of the Digital Alberti research project, which aims to decode Alberti's treatise through the use of new technologies. This treatise can be interpreted as a set of instructions regarding the art of building. The instructions related to Alberti's column system were translated into computational models, capable of generating digital instances of column elements according to the classical canons prescribed in the treatise. These instances were then digitally produced, materializing Alberti's theory. Despite Alberti's thoroughness, some detailing information is missing, namely for the Corinthian capital; observation and computational geometry were important for filling in the gaps. Such investigation allows determining the suitability of different modelling strategies, as well as the potential of different prototyping technologies.

It shows the accuracy of such grammar to help tracing the degree of influence of Alberti's treatise in Renaissence Portuguese architecture. Rucellai palace facade ornaments and its interior loggia where used to analyze and compare the Loggia generation accuracy. A Grasshopper script is used for the automation of the rules derivation. An evaluation process is presented and its use aims to better understand the deviations between the treatise and the Loggia grammars.

The goal is to assess to which extent it is feasible the use of a reverse engineering procedure to acquire actual building data and what kind of impact it may have on the development of a shape grammar. The paper describes the use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) techniques to acquire information on the São Vicente de Fora church, then the use of such information to develop the corresponding shape grammar, and finally the comparison of this grammar with the grammar of Alberti's treatise, to determine the grammatical transformations that occurred between the two grammars.

It evolves within a broader project called Digital Alberti, whose goal is to determine the influence of De re aedificatoria treatise on Portuguese Renaissance architecture, making use of a computational framework (Krüger et al., 2011). Previous work was concerned with the development of a shape grammar for generating sacred buildings according to the rules textually described in the treatise. This work describes the transformation of the treatise grammar into another grammar that can also account for the generation of Alberti's built work.

The following section presents the drawbacks derived from a research assessment exercise where architecture was no longer considered an academic subject to be developed in a research intensive university and, finally, concludes that architecture in Cambridge succeeded in spite of its problems, not in the absence of them, which suggests strongly that other European architectural schools can learn from it.
