Palladio is focusing on their similar approaches of the considered as one of the most influential conservation works for the building. architects in the history of European architecture. Many of his works were found in all over Italy. However, the three points of areas of study are in Vicenza, Verona, and Venice. With its historic buildings that were born earlier than United Kingdom, the Italian style architecture influenced the United Kingdom and showed the resemblance in many of the Figure 1.

This trip was considered as an architectural trail for where the students were trying to find and history and character of Italian architecture.

  • Ancient Battles Guido Beltramini
    Ancient Battles Guido Beltramini In 1575 Palladio published an illustrated Italian edition of Julius Caesar’s Commentaries. Five years later, his death halted the publication of Polybius’ Histories, which included forty-three engravings showing armies deployed at various battles: from Cannae to Zamas, Mantinea and Cynoscephalae. At the height of his career, Palladio invested time, energy and money into two publishing ventures far removed from architecture. In fact the two publications were part of a world of military matters which had attracted Palladio’s interest since his youth, when it formed an integral part of his education undertaken by Giangiorgio Trissino. As John Hale has shown, sixteenth-century Venice was one of the most active centres in Europe for military publications dealing with matters such as fortifications, tactics, artillery, fencing and even medicine. The distinguishing element in the Venetian production of such books was the widespread belief in the importance of the example of the Classical Greek and Roman writers, shared by men of letters and professional soldiers. This was combined with particular care shown towards the reader. The books were supplemented with tables of contents, indices, marginal notes and even accompanied by the publication of compendia illustrating the texts, such as the series entitled Gioie (‘Gems’) which Gabriele Giolito published from 1557 to 1570 (Hale 1980, pp. 257-268).

  • A Formal Language for Palladian Palazzo Façades Represented by A
    Buthayna H. Eilouti Research Department of Architectural A Formal Language for Palladian Palazzo Engineering Jordan University of Science Façades Represented by a String and Technology Recognition Device POB 3030 Irbid 22110, JORDAN Abstract. This article represents an effort to reveal a new [email protected] interpretation of the expression ‘the architectural language of Palladian designs’ that is closer to real linguistic paradigms than Keywords: architectural it usually means. Palladian designs exhibit a highly ordered and language, string recognition, well articulated formal language comprised of a finite set of visual study, design vocabulary elements in plan, elevation and volumetric treatment, computation, Palladian together with an implicit set of mathematical rules for the language, finite state automata, arrangement of these rudimentary elements. The scope of this FSA application, façade article is limited to the morphology of the façades of the first morphology nine buildings shown in the second book of Palladio’s treatise, specifically the palazzo designs that he presents in chapter three. The morphology is described in terms of a symbolic encoding system that is represented textually and graphically as a finite state automaton, the concept of which is borrowed from theories of formal languages and computation. The system helps to emphasize commonalities in façade languages and to propose a prototype for generating Palladian palazzo façade designs. The automaton-based encoding system may be developed to function as a base for a computerized façade encoder and decoder. Regular language processing and recognition Studies of formal languages, and their structural and computational representations in linguistics, computer science and related fields as well as their applications, are well- established (e.g., [Chomsky 1964]; [Aho and Ullman 1972]; [Salomaa 1973]; [Harrison 1978]; [Hopcroft and Ullman 1979]; [Linz 1997]; [Revesz 1983]).

  • Branko Mitrović Andrea Palladio's Villa Cornaro in Piombino Dese
    Branko Mitroviü Andrea Palladio’s Villa Cornaro in Piombino Dese As for many of Palladio’s buildings, modern surveys of the Villa Cornaro in Piombino Dese do not exist, are incomplete, omit information about important aspects such as the use of the classical orders, or have been published without dimensions indicated in the plans. The analysis presented here is based on a June 2003 survey of the villa made by Steve Wassell, Tim Ross, Melanie Burke, and author Branko Mitroviü. In his treatise, Palladio listed his preferred room types: circular, square or rectangular with length-to-width ratios 2/1, 3/2, 4/3, 5/3 or 2/1. Half a century ago, this kind of speculative search for the comprehensive interpretation of Palladio’s proportional system received great impetus from Rudolf Wittkower’s Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism. It is, however, important to differentiate between the derivation of certain proportional rules and their explanation. Wittkower asserted that the use of ornamentation—and especially the orders—did not matter in Palladio’s design process. Refuting this theory, Mitroviü argues that Palladio, in the early 1550, formulated a very different approach to the use of the orders, combining the principle of preferred room proportions and the use of a columnar system to determine the placement of walls. The proportions of the main sala and porticos are derived on the basis of the proportional rules for the order used; the proportions of the side rooms on the basis of preferred ratios. Ultimately, the result is that the mathematics of the orders became decisive for Palladio’s design principles and the use of proportions from the early 1550s.

  • Palladio, a Model for the Architecture of Classical Europe
    Architectural Styles Palladio, a model for the architecture of classical Europe Jean POTEL ABSTRACT Beginning in the sixteenth century, European architecture—in the same manner as painting, sculpture, and more broadly all forms of artistic expression—fell into tune with an Italian art that had already been renewing itself for nearly a century on ancient models. While the Rome of Julius II (pontiff from 1503 to 1513) and his successors drew the attention of the majority of nations, such as the Holy Roman Empire and Spain, others such as England, the United Provinces, and more discreetly France were enthusiastic about the work of the Vicentine Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). While the productions of this contemporary of the painter Veronese were mostly limited to the secondary artistic centers of the continental territories of the Republic of Venice (modern-day Veneto), they were behind an architectural movement unique to the Old World, one that took its creator’s name and thereby attesting to the incredible success of his manner: Palladianism. Jacob van Campen (1595-1657), home of count Jean-Maurice de Nassau-Siegen, known as Mauritshuis, The Hague (the Netherlands), 1633-1644. Source : Wikimedia Commons. The Origins of Palladianism Born in Padua and long active in Vicenza, two cities dominated by Venice, Pietro della Gondola (1508-1580) had an exceptional career. A mason by formation, he befriended the humanists Giorgio Trissino (1478-1550), who renamed him Palladio, and Daniele Barbaro (1514-70), whom he assisted in the latter’s commented translation of Vitruvius’s treatise on Latin architecture (1556), two encounters that were behind the extraordinary esthetic and conceptual revolution of his art.

  • Vicenza Vicenza
    Vicenza Vicenza Vicenza, Andrea Palladio nelle Terme e negli Archi di Roma imperiale apprese la Grandezza. E fosti eguale della Madre per lui tu figlia inerme! Bartolomeo Montagna il viril germe d'Andrea Mantegna in te fece vitale. La romana virtù si spazia e sale per le linee tue semplici e ferme. Veggo, di là dalle tue mute sorti, per i palladiani colonnati passare il grande spirito dell'Urbe e, nel Teatro Olimpico, in coorti i vasti versi astati e clipeati del Tragedo cozzar contra le turbe. Nel 1926, così il D’Annunzio cantava la città berica, che definiva anche come “Vicenza la Bella, la mia divina, la mia città diletta”. Vicenza - capoluogo di provincia, con circa 115.000 abitanti - si trova in pianura, fra le prime pendici dei colli Berici e delle Prealpi, ed è attraversata dal tortuoso fiume Bacchiglione e dal suo affluente Retrone. Essa ben merita l’ammirazione e l’amore del Poeta. E’ bella se vista dall’alto, è divina se si osserva da vicino, ammirando, assaporando le vie, le piazze, i palazzi, i monumenti. VICENZA DALL’ALTO Il piazzale di Monte Berico è il naturale osservatorio di Vicenza e del territorio vicentino: si pone come punto centrale di un vasto arco panoramico, di spettacolare bellezza. A nord, dietro il monte Summano e i gruppi del Pasubio e di Cima Posta, s’intravedono lontane all’orizzonte, le cime possenti delle Dolomiti di Brenta e dell’Adamello. Ad ovest l’alto veronese, dominato dalla mole maestosa della catena del Baldo. Ad est si scende dai contrafforti della Valsugana e dall'altipiano d'Asiago o dei Sette Comuni, fino ai colli di Bassano del Grappa, tanto amati da Antonio Canova.

E N E T WE ARE HERE O A work by 3A and 3C ARENA OF VERONA In the first century A.C. under the empire of Augustus, the amphitheater hosted games, shows and gladiatorial fights. They were bloody spectacles, which our modern sensibility struggles to conceive, but which at the time fascinated the crowds. Curiosity: there is a legend about the construction of the Arena. A gentleman from Verona, condemned to death, proposed to the lords of the city to build in one night an immense building to show that contained all people of Verona, to have his life saved in return. La Traviata is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi created by a libretto of Francesco Maria Piave. It is based on The Lady of the Camelias, a play by Alexandre Dumas. It is considered as a part of a so-called "popular trilogy" by Verdi, together with Il trovatore and Rigoletto. Since 2002 ''l'opera regina'' of the Arena di Verona is Aida, conceived by the genius of Franco Zeffirelli.
