It was Bramante's death in April 1514 that turned Raphael into an architect, for Leo X promoted him to Bramante's office as architect of St Peter's. Raphael assumed the direction of the work, transforming the plans of the church from a Greek, or radial, to a Latin, or longitudinal, design.
The drawing from Serlio's book shows Raphael's design for the ground plan.
