Product Description

An exploration of the design procedures and methodology of Andrea Palladio, arguably the most influential Renaissance architect.

Even when Modernism dimmed interest in classical architecture, Palladio's opus never ceased to attract attention. This book sets him in his context; discusses the theory of the orders, proportions, space composition, and facade design; and presents this material for practicing architects and students, so that the ideas can be applied in their architectural work today. 200 illustrations, 16 pages of color.

Customer Reviews

Excellent scholarship5
This book is an excellent summary of Palladio's design method. Although some of the discussion is quite technical and heavily formalist, Mitrovic offers a refreshing look at Palladio's singular achievement in architecture. At the end, he also offers an argument for the continuing relevance of Palladio's formal design for the contemporary architect--a viewpoint sure to rankle the die-hard modernist.
