I've been doing some preparation for my final thesis for a month or so now. My project will be situated in a baroque/rococo part of Copenhagen, and will be about an embodiment of architecture.
I want to fully understand the themes of baroque architecture and philosophy! Do anyone have any suggestion?
So far Deleuze and his interpretation of the fold led me back the baroque ( apart from being the site )
Heinrich Wofflin: "Renaissance and Baroque" - Describes well the transition from Renaissance through Mannerism and then into the Baroque. I think it's mostly about the Italian versions of these eras, so I'm not sure if that translates to Denmark. But, good book, Used it for my own thesis.

Any help is appreciated
top of my head...
riegl's origins of the baroque
Panofsky has a short essay what is baroque
portoghesi's book on borromini
wittkower does thick tome on the baroque (or Italian??, I forget)
could always dig up burckhardt
leo Steinberg for a bit more a literary mode (on Borromini, again)
but this is all roman. . . . . and not at all rococo . . . .
something to keep you from being productive ; )
