The famous Doge’s Staircase in Palladio’s Convent of the Carita Palace on St. Mark’s Square also contains several rooms designed by Palladio. Palladio’s Convent of the Carita is only partially intact but is worth NOTES a visit since it is now the city’s principal art museum, the Gallerie dell’Accademia. Of course This is a preliminary itinerary that is subject there are too many wonderful things to see in to minor changes regarding which sites are Venice and perhaps those who stay over will open on certain days and which sites are want to do their own sightseeing to wind down reasonably grouped for bus travel in each the trip.

  • 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). Fig 1: Valerio Chiericati, manuscript of Della Many of the leading players in this milieu were linked to Trissino, albeit Milizia.

  • Canal Grande (The Grand Canal)
    Canal Grande (The Grand Canal) Night shot of the Canal Grande or Grand Canal of Venice, Italy The Canal Grande and the Canale della Giudecca are the two most important waterways in Venice. They undoubtedly fall into the category of one of the premier tourist attractions in Venice. The Canal Grande separates Venice into two distinct parts, which were once popularly referred to as 'de citra' and 'de ultra' from the point of view of Saint Mark's Basilica, and these two parts of Venice are linked by the Rialto bridge. The Rialto Bridge is the most ancient bridge in Venice.; it is completely made of stone and its construction dates back to the 16th century. The Canal Grande or the Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the beautiful city of Venice. The most popular mode of public transportation is traveling by the water bus and by private water taxis. This canal crisscrosses the entire city of Venice, and it begins its journey from the lagoon near the train station and resembles a large S-shape through the central districts of the "sestiere" in Venice, and then comes to an end at the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute near the Piazza San Marco. The major portion of the traffic of the city of Venice goes along the Canal Grande, and thus to avoid congestion of traffic there are already three bridges – the Ponte dei Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the Rialto Bridge, while another bridge is being constructed. The new bridge is designed by Santiago Calatrava, and it will link the train station to the Piazzale Roma.

  • 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]).

  • Palladio's Influence in America
    Palladio’s Influence In America Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2008 marks the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth. We might ask why Americans should consider this to be a cause for celebration. Why should we be concerned about an Italian architect who lived so long ago and far away? As we shall see, however, this architect, whom the average American has never heard of, has had a profound impact on the architectural image of our country, even the city of Baltimore. But before we investigate his influence we should briefly explain what Palladio’s career involved. Palladio, of course, designed many outstanding buildings, but until the twentieth century few Americans ever saw any of Palladio’s works firsthand. From our standpoint, Palladio’s most important achievement was writing about architecture. His seminal publication, I Quattro Libri dell’ Architettura or The Four Books on Architecture, was perhaps the most influential treatise on architecture ever written. Much of the material in that work was the result of Palladio’s extensive study of the ruins of ancient Roman buildings. This effort was part of the Italian Renaissance movement: the rediscovery of the civilization of ancient Rome—its arts, literature, science, and architecture.
