Four Books of Architecture

ANNOTATION

Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) was one of the most influential architects of the Renaissance, whose name became equated with the revival of classical style-palladianism. His 1570 treatise, The Four Books on Architecture was the inspiration of architects, city planners and others (it was Goethe's chief guide on his Italian Journey). Now, for the first time in two centuries it is available in a new English translation by Robert Tavernor and Richard Schofield. Complete with 217 illustrations, it will be a substantive gift for architects and others who love beautiful buildings.
