Part of the Nexus Network Journal series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume features a collection of papers dedicated to "Canons of Form-Making", in honor of the 500th anniversary of the birth of architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580).
Theorist as well as practitioner, Palladio's architecture was based on well-defined canons that he had gleaned from studying the treatises as well as the remains of architecture from antiquity.
Palladio himself left to posterity not only his large corpus of built works, but his Quattro libri d'architettura.
Three of the papers in this issue are specifically about Palladio and his work.
The other papers deal with canons of form-making, ancient and contemporary.
