 Da Vinci’s Urban Plan for the Ideal City

In 1515, the French King invited Leonardo to the royal summer home, Chateau du
Clos Luce, near Amboise. The young French king had hired the Renaissance master as
“The King’s First Painter, Engineer and Architect.” Francis I was barely 20-years-old when
he became King of France. He loved the countryside south of Paris and decided to move
the French capital to the Loire Valley, with palaces in Romorantin.

King Francis hired da Vinci, the seasoned professional, to carry out his dreams for
Romorantin. Plans for Romorantin incorporated many of Leonardo’s idealistic ideas. His
notebooks show design for a Royal Palaces built on water, redirected rivers and
manipulated water levels, clean air and water circulated with a series of windmills, animal
stables built on canals where waste water could be safely removed, cobbled streets to
facilitate travel and the movement of building supplies, prefabricated houses for relocating
townspeople.

However, Romorantin was never built. It appears that construction had begun in da
Vinci’s lifetime, however. Streets were created, carts of stones were being moved, and
foundations were laid. But as da Vinci’s health failed, the young King’s interests turned to
the less ambitious but equally opulent French Renaissance Chaeteau de Chambord, begun
the year of da Vinci’s death. Scholars believe that many of the designs intended for
Romorantin ended up in Chambord, including an intricate, cate, helix-like spiral stairway.

Rencana Kota Da Vinci untuk Kota Ideal

Pada 1515, Raja Prancis mengundang Leonardo ke rumah musim panas kerajaan,
Chateau du Clos Luce, dekat Amboise. Raja muda Perancis telah mempekerjakan master
Renaissance sebagai "Pelukis, Insinyur dan Arsitek Pertama Raja." Francis I baru berusia
20 tahun ketika ia menjadi Raja Prancis. Dia mencintai pedesaan selatan Paris dan
memutuskan untuk memindahkan ibu kota Prancis ke Lembah Loire, dengan istana di
Romorantin.

Raja Francis menyewa da Vinci, profesional berpengalaman, untuk mewujudkan

mimpinya bagi Romorantin. Rencana untuk Romorantin memasukkan banyak ide idealis
Leonardo. Buku catatannya menunjukkan desain untuk Royal Palaces yang dibangun di
atas air, mengarahkan sungai dan memanipulasi ketinggian air, udara bersih dan air
bersirkulasi dengan serangkaian kincir angin, kandang hewan yang dibangun di atas kanal
di mana air limbah dapat dengan aman dihilangkan, jalan berbatu untuk memudahkan
perjalanan dan pergerakan perlengkapan bangunan, rumah prefabrikasi untuk merelokasi
penduduk kota.

Namun, Romorantin tidak pernah dibangun. Tampaknya konstruksi telah dimulai

seumur hidup da Vinci. Jalan-jalan dibuat, gerobak batu dipindahkan, dan fondasi
diletakkan. Tetapi ketika kesehatan da Vinci gagal, minat Raja muda beralih ke
Renaissance Prancis yang kurang ambisius dan sama mewahnya Chaeteau de Chambord,
memulai tahun kematian da Vinci. Para sarjana percaya bahwa banyak dari desain yang
ditujukan untuk Romorantin berakhir di Chambord, termasuk tangga spiral yang rumit,
berbentuk seperti helix.

Pertanyaan :

1. Berapa usia Raja prancis ketika baru menjabat sebagai raja ?

2. Apa tujuan Raja prancis menyewa davinci ?

3. Apa perkembangan pembangunan Romorantin yang sudah dilakukan davinci ?
4. Mengapa Raja muda beralih dari da vinci ?
5. apa desain da vinci yang membuat para sarjana percaya ?
