This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrea Palladio is unquestionably the most important architect in the Western world: his carefully proportioned, pedimented designs are the foundations for most single-family homes and public buildings in the United States and Europe. In 1776, architect and scholar Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi began documenting and analyzing Palladio's designs, which were published in four volumes as Le fabbriche e i disegni di Andrea Palladio. Gathered together here for the first time in English in a single volume, The Buildings and Designs of Andrea Palladio is the complete works of Palladio, from his well-known villas of the Veneto to his lesser-known engineering structures, such as bridges. Featuring the highest quality printing and binding, this large-format stunner features more than two hundred reproductions and showcases Palladio's designs for villas, churches, and civic buildings, and for the first time, the English translation of Scamozzi's introduction to Palladio's remarkable oeuvre.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First and Chief Groundes of Architecture There are passages which serve to Show that Shute had made genuine observations of buildings in Italy. He brings to his subject some independent thought, as in his passage on the diminution of Orders upwards. He clearly felt that the expression of character in a building was as necessary as the Orders themselves, although he sets out to illustrate them as the first and chief grounds of architecture. He would like a building to be Doric, Ionic or Corinthian in character rather than to be an exhibition of all the Orders. When adding a special plinth, like the moulded riser of a step, under the complete pedestals of the Ionic and Corinthian he justifies himself as follows.
