GENERAL PLAN BY ARCHITECT MICHAEL YTTERBERG
The plans are taken from the General Restored Plan of Hadrian's Villa by the american architect Michael Ytterberg, who for many years studied Hadrian's Villa (with his kind permission).
His General Plan is visible at the beginning of the Plan section in this website.
For each building there are different plans, one is comprehensive and general plan, and the other one is a detailed plan.In the first plan, the building is highlighted in green and the other neighboring buildings can also be seen. Each one has an identification number which refers to the general plan.
The other plans instead are taken from the book by Marina De Franceschini «Villa Adriana. Mosaici, Pavimenti, Edifici» (Roma 1991).
Each room is marked with an acronym and a number, which are the same of the catalogue entries of the book and which are referred to in the description of the text in this website.
The different building techniques and the type of pavement are also noted.
In the captions, each number corresponds to a short description of the function of the room.
In some cases there are other plans, whose author is cited.
