Abstract This study aims to clarify the principles underlying the formation of spatial concepts in Michelangelo’s architecture through Deleuze’s notion of metaschematism. Focusing on the Laurentian Library, the study interprets Michelangelo’s architectural characteristics as the construction of a unified spatial concept achieved through the transformation of individual architectural elements and the reconfiguration of their relationships. This analysis is grounded in the Deleuze-Leibniz framework, which traces a shift from changes in the predicates of the monad to transformations in the schema of the individual. As a result, the study proposes a theoretical perspective that understands Michelangelo’s architecture as a creative medium that reconstructs concepts of space and time and as a practice capable of transforming perceptual and cognitive frameworks.
