In 1570, Andrea Palladio publishes his Four Books on Architecture. This was the first treatise of its
kind as it included not only illustrations, but also examples of the architect’s work. The first book
denotes the rules of architecture, whereas the second one provides a series of the Palladio’s buildings
which employ these rules. This essay is an analysis of such a dichotomy between theory and
practice, whose main subject is the Villa Poiana, built in 1549. Palladio’s text on the villa will be
analyzed in the first part of the essay, followed by a comparative analysis of the Villa’s geometry as
pertains to the rules described in Book one.

In occasione del quinto centenario della nascita di Andrea Palladio l’Università Iuav di Venezia ha sviluppato uno specifico progetto, confluito poi in una mostra, mirato al rilievo e allo studio delle facciate delle quattro chiese palladiane di Venezia: San Francesco della Vigna, San Pietro di Castello, San Giorgio Maggiore e Redentore.
L’obiettivo principale era di poter confrontare tra loro le diverse soluzioni di facciata, potendo contare su basi sicure e coerenti, ottenute con metodi avanzati e con strumenti tra i più precisi oggi a disposizione.
I dati raccolti ed elaborati in quella occasione hanno consentito anche la creazione di dettagliati modelli tridimensionali digitali delle facciate, aprendo pertanto la possibilità a diverse applicazioni: dalla navigazione interattiva in Google Earth, alla realizzazione automatica di modelli fisici, ad altre soluzioni introdotte in questo articolo.

The design method of Andrea Palladio, the famous Renaissance architect, has yet to be discovered. Although the room dimensions given in his woodcuts are the only data that can be used for this purpose, performing calculations around them only cannot produce any valuable outcome. Instead, to discover Palladio's method, one must focus on the process of the construction, of how workers would have laid out the building.

This article reports on the intellectual connection between the poet Gian Giorgio Trissino, author of the epic poem "L’Italia liberata dai Goti" (published in 1548), and the architect Andrea Palladio. It is offered here an in-depth analysis of the poetic imagery and description of churches and palaces in the work by Trissino, where a unique literary paradigm – based on “specularity” and “duplication” of images and words – could be found. This paradigm will have a crucial influx on Palladio’s ideological and cultural preparation, ultimately influencing his architectural plans.

In this essay the study of Andrea Palladio’s villas will form a lens for examining the relationship between Peter Eisenman and Colin Rowe’s respective diagrammatic systems. There are two strands to this exegesis, a historical and a theoretical one. The historical comparisons are made through paring Rowe’s Palladian analysis from Ideal of the Renaissance Villa with Eisenman’s Virtual Palladio. The theoretical comparison focuses upon Colin Rowe and Robert Slutzky’s theory of phenomenal transparency and the larger oeuvre of Eisenman’s theoretical writings from Formal Basis of Modern Architecture to later poststructuralist and de-constructivist writings. It will be seen how their re-evaluation of Palladio marks a historiographical shift that articulates strictly formal strategies, and it will be further evaluated as to how these approaches have been employed to create and analyze architecture, and whether these perspectives can constructively participate in the contemporary discipline’s shift towards parametricism and virtualization.

Trade has been one of the main factors affecting political relations and cultural exchange between countries in every period of history, especially in the periods when communication technologies have not developed as much as today. Cultural exchange, which has influenced many areas from art to technology, has also affected architecture. Within the scope of this study, aims to examine the reflections of political relations, that are developed for the protection of commercial interests, on cultural exchange in the context of architectural structures of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice, which are generally divided into two parts as east-west in histography although sharing the same Mediterranean geography, are discussed. However, the study is limited to the 16th century, during the relations between these two important political powers lived their most influential periods, and the reflections are examined through the structures of the important architects of that period, Mimar Sinan and Andrea Palladio. In the first part of the study, the relationship between Venetian bailo Marc 'Antonio Barbaro and Grand Vizier Sokullu Mehmed Pasha, which is believed to form an invisible bridge between the two architects, is examined based on the literature on the subject. In the other phase of the study, a timeline has been created shows the chronological order of the architects’ prominent works and was divided into two according to the years he was in Constantinople to see whether Barbaro affected these works. The structures designed by these architects were compared in terms of plan typology, structural solutions, and facade characteristics according to the distinction before and after Barbaro. At the end of the study was concluded that the compared works of these two important architects, who had not seen each other's buildings personally, were separated from the previous ones in line with distinct features and these features were some aspects that resemble the style of the other architect. As a result, this supports the argument that Barbaro, who has taken on a political role to balance the two political forces, also has an important place in intercultural exchange.

The aim of the article is to organize the current state of research and attribution to carry out a new formal and genetic analysis. In the case of the palace in Kielce we can reconstruct the constructing works and determine the names of performers. Builders and decorators of the headquarters of bishops were employees of workshops from the sculpture centre in Chęciny and masons from the former province of Sandomierz and Cracow. The source of inspiration for the residence was the project of Villa Pisana in Montagnana by Andrea Palladio. Previous suppositions that the author of the palace project in Kielce was Tomasz Poncino must be rejected in favor of Giovanni Trevano.

Andrea Palladio remains one of the most influential architects in Italy, especially in Veneto, but also in other parts of the world in which his drawings and the famous treatise I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura came to a wide reading public made of architects, collectors and connoisseurs.
Palladio is well-known in Europe, Russia included, and even in North America but it was in England, especially around London’s area, where he achieved most of his success. In fact only in London three-hundred drawings by Palladio are preserved at the RIBA Library and two at Westminster Abbey Library, six can be found at Worcester College Library, Oxford, and ten at Chatsworth house, Derbyshire.
The history of how these drawings arrived to London from Vicenza and Venice is a fascinating one, so that I decided to retrace the route these drawings made through architects and collectors during more than five centuries, starting with the author, Andrea Palladio, and the first person who brought most of the drawings to England, Inigo Jones. The drawings passed to Jones’s pupil John Webb and later to Webb’s son William, who sold them. One group of drawings came to the hands of George Clarke, who bequeathed them to Worcester College Library and another group was bought by William Talman, who gave them to his son John Talman. Finally Lord Burlington tried to bring back the entire collection with the purchase of Talman’s drawings, which later passed to the IV Duke of Devonshire.

Andrea Palladio’s research and work concerning the Roman tradition of theatre most famously resulted in the Teatro Olimpico, completed by his protégé, Vincenzo Scamozzi. However, another work, the Villa Rotonda, distills and transposes Palladio’s ideas in response to its particular site and landscape, and explains the villa’s particular morphology. Palladio left one conspicuous clue to what he was up to, right in the dead centre of the plan: A mysterious mask, grinning up at the visitor from the marble floor.

La guida pubblicata a Venezia nel 1588 da Girolamo Franzini per il giubileo straordinario promosso da Sisto V si inserisce, sullo scorcio del Cinquecento, in una lunga tradizione testuale dedicata alle secolari vicende e alle peculiarità della città eterna che attraversa il Medioevo e il Rinascimento. Questo inserimento presenta anche elementi nuovi, che sono stati poi ripresi e riproposti per lungo tempo. Oltre all'introduzione di illustrazioni di architetture, quello più evidente è la descrizione, accanto alla magnificenza della città antica, delle emergenze della città attuale. La guida di Franzini ha avuto immediata fortuna, con numerose riedizioni, anche ampliate. Particolarmente ampia e duratura, dunque, l'utilizzazione delle piccole xilografie dei principali monumenti di Roma. Un successo evidentemente legato all'efficacia della sintesi raggiunta, idonea a trasmettere un'immagine della città semplice e chiara, alla portata di ogni tipo di fruitore.

Quando pubblicò nel 1570 I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura, Palladio non poteva immaginare che lo avrebbero reso famoso in tutto il mondo e che sarebbe diventato il riferimento di generazioni
di architetti per costruire all’antica. La storia di questo successo è anche una storia di continue trasformazioni: quelle che hanno segnato la vita delle sue architetture, spesso modificate e corrette
nei secoli successivi alla loro costruzione nel tentativo di adattarle ai modelli ideali presentati nelle pagine del Trattato.
I completamenti, le demolizioni e i ripristini di opere iconiche come la Basilica, la Loggia del Capitaniato o il Palazzo Chiericati non raccontano però solo del modo in cui il mito di Palladio
venne di volta in volta interpretato, ma rappresentano
uno specchio in cui si riflettono vicende più ampie: dalle aspirazioni della ‘piccola patria’ di Vicenza, intenta tra Ottocento e Novecento a celebrare il suo simbolo, fino ai tentativi di un’Italia in formazione, impegnata ancora prima della sua nascita a dissotterrare le proprie radici identitarie e a costruire il futuro attraverso la tutela dei propri monumenti.

In the series "The treaties of the arts", directed by the Author, the volume reproduces the illustrations from the drawings by Andrea Palladio, originally published by O. Bertotti Scamozzi (Vicenza 1797). For many buildings, like the Baths of Agrippa, Nero, Titus and Constantine, largely erased by the ruthless demolition and pillage, these drawings represent the most complete and reliable documentation. The essay summarizes the terminology and meaning of the ancient Bath Buildings, from the Greek Balaneia to the Roman Thermae, comparing them with the evidence of literary and archaeological sources. After mentioning the influence of bath buildings on Late Roman and Early Christian Architecture, the book draws an overview on the most significant descriptions and studies on the Roman Baths in the age of Palladio. The volume is completed by computer graphic renderings of the buildings from the published engravings (pp. 177-198), edited by the students of the Faculty of Architecture , Polytechnic of Bari.

In 1556 the great editor Francesco Marcolini published in Venice Daniele Barbaro's traduction and comment. Andrea Palladio was to Barbaro's eyes the "architetto virtuoso" expected to renovate Venetian architecture non only in mainland but in the city core. Marcolini too contributed with technical advises in the illustrations of machines, clocks, hydraulic organ of Libro X.

La prima monografia storica sull'edificio di orgine cinquecentesca Villa Angaran Morosini Favero detta "San Giuseppe". Fortemente voluta dallo sventurato conte Giacomo Angaran del Sole, amico dell'architetto Andrea Palladio e destinatario dei Quattro Libri dell'Architettura, la villa fu iniziata nel 1588, restando tuttavia incompiuta per la morte del committente avvenuta nel 1595. Divenuta dimora degli Angaran delle Stelle, la vita è rimasta residenza nobiliare per oltre tre secoli, fino a quando, a inizio '900, è diventata casa per esercizi spirituali, di proprietà dei Padri Gesuiti. Con il nuovo millennio la villa ha iniziato una nuova vita, legata all'acccoglienza delle fasce più deboli e allo sviluppo di cittadinanza, diventando la prima villa iscritta a IRVV (Istituto Regionale Ville Venete) destinata all'inclusione sociale.
--------------
The first historical monograph on the 16th century Villa Angaran Morosini Favero, known as "San Giuseppe". Strongly desired by the unfortunate Count Giacomo Angaran del Sole, friend of the architect Andrea Palladio and recipient of the Four Books of Architecture, the villa was begun in 1588, but remained unfinished due to the death of the client in 1595. Having become the home of the Angaran delle Stelle, life remained a noble residence for over three centuries, until, at the beginning of the 20th century, it became a house for spiritual exercises, owned by the Jesuit Fathers. With the new millennium, the villa began a new life, linked to the welcoming of the weaker classes and the development of citizenship, becoming the first villa registered with IRVV (Istituto Regionale Ville Venete) destined for social inclusion.

Today we are familiar with definitions of architecture as an integrated, multidisciplinary “networked practice,” which takes its cognitive potential from a “diffused design intelligence.” These definitions were introduced to counter an individual, authorial approach to design which allegedly characterized modern architecture since its beginnings. This thesis aims to overcome such a distinction, showing that, on the contrary, a diffused, collective intelligence was at the core of architectural production since its invention in the 15th century. Renaissance sprezzatura, the monster in Enlightened France, Alois Riegl's Kunstwollen, Aldo Rossi's collective memory and the 1970s debate on architectural language are taken as indexes of a Western tradition of collective intelligence in design. Moreover, this genealogy shows that by embracing “collective intelligence” and “projective” practice architecture does not necessarily surrender to constituted political powers and to the forces of the market. On the contrary, this thesis shows how such a practice can be an instance of a positive and constitutive political force—in other words, able to produce the common.

Thomas Jefferson dedicated his later years to establishing the University of Virginia, believing that the availability of a public liberal education was essential to national prosperity and individual happiness. His design for the University stands as one of his greatest accomplishments and has been called “the proudest achievement of American architecture.” Taking Jefferson’s design drawings as a basis for study, this paper explores the possibility that he incorporated incommensurable geometric proportions in his designs for the Rotunda. Without actual drawings to illustrate specific geometric constructions, it cannot be said definitively that Jefferson utilized such proportions. But a comparative analysis between Jefferson’s plans and Palladio’s renderings of the Pantheon (Jefferson’s primary design source) suggests that both designs developed from similar geometric techniques.
