This paper presents a study on the architectural characteristics of 'Uffizi' and 'Vasarian Corridor', projected by Giorgio Vasari in the middle of 16th century. Giorgio Vasari(30 July 1511 ? 27 June 1574) was an Italian painter and architect, who is today famous for his biographies of Italian artists, considered the ideological foundation of art-historical writing. Most of all, Vasari's art-historic writing present us very important theory of architecture for understanding urban characters of architecture works in this period. Usually, in the history of Western Architecture, the period in which Vasari was active is denominated as late-Renaissance or Mannerism. In this period there was very important progress in field of artistic theory. There were active many great Masters such as Michelangelo, Vignola and Giulio Romano.
