English: Second of four comparative drawings. A "palazzo" in the Classical style designed as a city building. The building differs from one designed for the countryside in that the architect must take into account the fact that the building has no "vista"; it will always be seen from up close, perhaps in a very narrow street. For this reason, the building will be strongly affected by perspective: its verticals will taper and its horizontals appear curved. The architect sets the building on a basement that is approximately eye-height and a little wider than the building. The stabilises everything below eye-level. Above eye-level, all the appear to slope inwards. The architect counters this by adding an entablature that juts out much further than the basement. However, without the inward taper caused by perspective, the entablature seems too large, and the building looks top-heavy.
