Summary:
Written by the leading authorities on the architect, this book adopts a similar approach to that employed by Palladio in his own writing, with an emphasis on the tangible and practical aspects of life and work. Following this it is divided in three parts: 1. His buildings, documented in 22 chapters, richly illustrated with carefully reproduced original drawings, photographs, and floor plans. 2. His ideas and writings (with essays by Howard Burns, Guido and Maria Beltramini, and others). 3. The people who played a part in the development of both, including chapters on Vincenzo Scamozzi, Inigo Jones, Richard Boyle, and others. Followed by a bibliography, a glossary of architectural terms and Italian words, and an index.
