The classical Roman revivalist
Â
With this introduction to the work of Andrea Palladio (1508â1580), TASCHENâs Basic Architecture series shines its spotlight on one of the most influential figures in the history of Western architecture. Palladioâs âVilla Rotondaâ in Vicenza became the most famous building of its kind; it influenced many later designs and remains an important source of inspiration for todayâs architects. The Palladian style, distinguished by the typical Serlian windows, pillared façades resembling Roman temples, symmetrical floor plans, and elevations, was imported to other European countries and became widely known; in Great Britain it was one the important roots of 17th and 18th century architecture. In the 19th century, American architecture heavily referred to the style, as seen in, for example, Thomas Jeffersonâs Monticello home.
