DESCRIPTION:
"Classical architecture of Palladio" according to Walt S.. Excellent book of classical temples and structures. Way too over the top for building for today, unless you are building a backyard temple or mediterranean villa but great inspiration if you are looking to incorporate a few classical design elements into a project. I will be using some of the moulding profiles and patterns for some carving templates. The large number of line drawings are clean and concise with lots of detail..

From the Back CoverAndrea Palladio (1508–1580) was one of the most celebrated architects of the Renaissance, so important that the term Palladian has been applied to a particular style of architecture that adheres to classical concepts. This is a republication of the Isaac Ware English edition of 1738. The Second Book deals with private houses and mansions, almost all of Palladio's own design. In the Fourth Book, Palladio
