Book Synopsis The Four Books of Andrea Palladio's Architecture by : ANDREA. PALLADIO
Download or read book The Four Books of Andrea Palladio's Architecture written by ANDREA. PALLADIO and published by Gale Ecco, Print Editions. This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Download or read book Palladio written by James Ackerman and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1991-07-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palladio (1508-80) combined classical restraint with constant inventiveness. In this study, Professor Ackerman sets Palladio in the context of his age - the Humanist era of Michelangelo and Raphael, Titian and Veronese - and examines each of the villas, churches and palaces in turn and tries to penetrate to the heart of the Palladian miracle. Palladio's theoretical writings are important and illuminating, he suggests, yet they never do justice to the intense intuitive skills of "a magician of light and colour". Indeed, as the photographs in this book reveal, Palladio was "as sensual, as skilled in visual alchemy as any Venetian painter of his time", and his countless imitators have usually captured the details, but not the essence of his style. There are buildings all the way from Philadelphia to Leningrad which bear witness to Palladio's "permanent place in the making of architecture", yet he also deserves to be seen on his own terms.

Book Synopsis Get Your House Right by : Marianne Cusato
Download or read book Get Your House Right written by Marianne Cusato and published by Sterling Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as oversized McMansions continue to elbow their way into tiny lots nationwide, a much different trend has taken shape. This return to traditional architectural principles venerates qualities that once were taken for granted in home design: structural common sense, aesthetics of form, appropriateness to a neighborhood, and even sustainability. Marianne Cusato, creator of the award-winning Katrina Cottages, has authored and illustrated this definitive guide to what makes houses look and feel right--to the eye and to the soul. She teaches us the language and grammar of classical architecture, revealing how balance, harmony, and detail all contribute to creating a home that will be loved rather than tolerated. And she takes us through the do’s and don’ts of every element of home design, from dormers to doorways to columns. Integral to the book are its hundreds of elegant line drawings--clearly rendering the varieties of lintels and cornices, arches and eaves, and displaying "avoid” and "use” versions of the same elements side by side.

Book Synopsis Jefferson and Palladio by : Guido Beltramini
Download or read book Jefferson and Palladio written by Guido Beltramini and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), a cosmopolitan figure with rural roots, was a master of the knowledge of his time. He drafted The Declaration of Independence (1776), and thus founded a new view of the proper relation between governed and government. Jefferson was the architect of the new America, not just in a political sense, but in a literal sense as well. Architecture had an important place in his personal and public agenda. A self-taught architect, Jefferson buildings are amongst America's most famous: Monticello, the Virginia State Capitol and the University of Virginia are the starting points of American classical architecture. Jefferson was guided by his admiration for Palladio's Four Books on Architecture, which provided him with key architectural forms and ideas. Palladio showed him how the admired building types of the ancient Romans could be adapted to modern purposes and provide a rational, harmonious framework for living and for building a new society.

Ackerman; Jefferson and Palladio by Guido Beltramini; Jefferson: Architecture and Democracy by Fulvio Lenzo; Photographing Jefferson by Filippo Romano; Palladianism in America Before Jefferson by Bruce Boucher; The National Survey Grid and the American Democracy by Catherine Maumi; Jefferson's Creation of American Classical Architecture by Richard Guy Wilson; Jefferson and the First Public Statues in the United States by Giovanna Capitelli; Canova and the Monument to George Washington by Mario Guderzo; Palladio: Materials and Building Techniques Damiana by Lucia Paterno; Jefferson Builder by Travis McDonald.
