About this title

Synopsis

Book by Van Der Ree, Paul, Smienk, Gerrit, Steenbergen, Clemens

Reviews

Van der Ree's geographically grouped corso di designo on over 40 villas from the medieval to the baroque is accomplished through a villa-by-villa analysis. Maps found at the beginning of each geographic section denote the locations of the villas. The design of each villa, its structure, and its relationship to surrounding nature are illustrated by special geometric line drawings and by black-and-white photographs of the actual villa. Each villa's hours of operation are also included. The understated production of this book reinforces its serious intent and its focus on the underlying principles, philosophy, and evolution of the concept of the Renaissance villa. Its goal to explore "how the interaction between the architecture, the gardens and the landscape can be studied" provides a rich academic framework for architects, landscape artists, art historians, Renaissance scholars, and Italophiles. For most libraries.
