As indicated by Alberti architecture is described by congruous form, numerical magnitude, and

proportion in view of the human scale. He firmly trusted that architects primed as humanists

raised the prominence from being called as a gifted worker to craftsman. They design and outline

structures that would speak of reason and spirits. Alberti himself was as proficient as an architect

as he was a humanist, painter, and a scholar. He however remained a theoretician. Indeed, even

in his later work as a architect he mollified himself with creating plans and models of different

activities, liking to leave the pragmatic execution of the structures to others with more

noteworthy inclination.

Alberti appears to have swung to design in the 1440s. Drawing upon a basic perusing of De

Architectura by Vitruvius and a direct savant information of Classical remains, he set forward the

primary intelligible hypothesis of the utilization of the five Classical requests of Greek design

since Antiquity, relating their utilization to various classes of building. He additionally clarified a

clear hypothesis of compositional magnificence, subordinate upon the consonant relationship

between certain settled extents, alleviated by elaborate structures. As the principal thorough

treatise on Renaissance design, this book is in many regards tantamount with the prior Della

Pittura, despite the fact that it was progressively a work of unique research, and was more

powerful. Alberti's concentration was on the craft of building, both regarding single structures

and whole urban spaces. He investigates this through three concentrations, construct nearly in

light of the three basics of building sketched out by Vitruvius, called the Vitruvian Triad. To

begin with is the security and value of a structure. Next are the stylish components of lines,

edges, and extents. At last are the components of magnificence and ornamentation. In

fundamental terms, an incredible structure must be steady/valuable, tastefully satisfying, and

adorned well, and every component must work with the others to make a predictable and bound

together entirety.

The primary treatise, Della Pittura, was a book of high importance and specialisation, clarifying

the standards behind direct point of view, which were likely to have been borrowed by

Brunelleschi. Roman architecture was respected by both Alberti shared Brunelleschi's and was

roused by the case of Vitruvius. In his structural outlines, and in the abstract clarification of his

points and thoughts, Alberti gave a safe premise to the consequent advancement of the traditional

style in European architecture. At the point when his other abstract works, specifically his

treatises on model and painting, are added to this accomplishment, his commitment to the

Renaissance in Florence and somewhere else is monstrous.
