Synopsis
This book provides an instructional guide to the principles of architecture from one of the most influential architectural theorists and practitioners of the Renaissance, Andrea Palladio. The author draws on the architectural legacy of the ancient world, especially what remained from the Roman Empire, that had been the subject of intense scholarly inquiry in the Renaissance period. Palladio's ideas would profoundly influence architectural design for centuries to come, especially in Britain and the American colonies, and many of the buildings he designed in and around his native city of Venice still stand today. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of architecture, the principles of architecture, or the design of beautiful buildings.
