  Cosimo de' Medici - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Cosimo di Giovanni de' Medici (April 10, 1389 - August 1, 1464), was the first of the Medici political dynasty, effective rulers of Florence during most of the Italian Renaissance; also know as "Cosimo 'the Elder'" and "Cosimo Pater Patriae."
In 1433 Cosimo was exiled from Florence by Rinaldo degli Albizzi, but his fortunes soon changed, and he returned in 1434, to ably lead the Republic for the rest of his long life.
He also hired the young Michelozzo Michelozzi to create what is today perhaps the protypical Florentine palazzo, the austere and magnificent Palazzo Medici.

Not only does The International Book of Lofts trace the rise of lofts — from practical workshops-cum-living spaces for artisans and artists to the self-important style statements of writers, fashion designers, and accountants — it is also a photographic compendium of solutions to the antagonistic problems of light, space, and privacy.
Ranging widely from city to city, from minimalist temple to faux-Medici palazzo, the authors even find room to consider those purpose-built houses and apartments that borrow from the loft aesthetic.
A Visual Dictionary of Architecture is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind compendium which uses a combination of textual definitions and hundreds of superb line drawings to illuminate a comprehensive body of essential terms in architecture, including important interrelationships between building components.
