Francis Towne, Castel Madama, above the River Aniene, near Tivoli, 1781. Pen and grey ink and watercolour, on laid paper with a fragmentary woatermark; signed dated and inscribed verso: CastelloMadamo/no,2./ April 22. 1781/ Light coming in from the right hand./Francis Towne. At auction at Sotheby’s 2021 Why do we travel? Is i to see new things? to rack up a gazillion photographs? to touch something elemental about unfamiliarity? to leave the quotidian behind for a while? What, historically, did travel bring to architecture? What do studios abroad, obligatory offerings for any self-respecting architecture school, bring to the study of architecture? Does travel always imply distance? Is travel a challenge or a pleasure? Is a challenge a pleasure? Is pleasure a challenge? Is there anything essentially imperialistic about travel? Is emigration travel or displacement? What does travel displace?
