Palladio and His Legacy: A Transatlantic Journey

Sergide, son 500 yılın en etkileyici mimarlarının orijinal eskizleri yer alıyor.

Andrea Palladio (1508–1580) was one of the most influential architects in the Western world. Fascinated by Roman ruins and the work of the ancient Roman architect/engineer/theorist Vitruvius, Palladio designed public and private buildings that incorporate classical design elements while exploiting Renaissance advances in engineering and construction. Palladio’s architectural theory, widely disseminated through his Four Books on Architecture (1570), reached the United States by the 18th century and influenced Thomas Jefferson and the design of monumental buildings in Washington, DC. Through rarely seen drawings and books from the collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects, modern bas-relief models, and specially commissioned models of buildings that Palladio studied, designed, or influenced, Palladio and His Legacy documents this transatlantic migration of architectural thinking.

Palladio and His Legacy: A Transatlantic Journey is a traveling exhibition organized by the Royal Institute of British Architects Trust, London, in association with the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio, Vicenza.

Curators: Charles Hind and Irena Murray, RIBA British Architectural Library; Guido Beltramini, CISA Palladio; Calder Loth, Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
