Palladio and Jefferson and Boyle

Palladio Villa Rotunda

Andrea Palladio • He pursued mathematical clarity in both plan and elevation, stemming from the Renaissance belief that beauty could be attained through the use of geometry and measurement. • His buildings were largely intended as reconstructions of antique architecture, based on his reading of Vitruvius’ De Architectura. • His villas, the most influential part of his work, use the temple front, because Palladio believed that this was also a feature of antique domestic architecture. • Palladio conceived of architecture as something rational, which obeyed rules: if a work is created according to rules, it can be imitated and taught, assuming that the same basic precepts are imparted. • Expect geometrical symmetry
