Overview
The Tempietto was built by Bramante about 1502 on the supposed site of the crucifixion of St. Peter. The focus of this model was to recreate the un-built circular courtyard in which the Tempietto was to have been built. The basic drawings used were those of Sabastian Serlio and Letarsuilly.
The process of creating the Tempietto, as a three-dimensional model was drastically simplified by the symmetrical shape that allowed the designer to revolve surfaces creating a shell that would become the basic shape of the structure. The details included structures such as the metops and triglyphs. The geometry that makes up the Tempietto and courtyard are very schematic to enable detailed texture mapping to create the illusion of three-dimensional elements.
