Andrea Palladio’s The Four Book on Architecture is unquestionably the most influential architectural treatise ever written. The treatise’s Book IV consists of Palladio’s illustrations and descriptions of twenty-five Roman temples. From his study of their ruins Palladio produced ninety-seven pages of elevations, sections, plans, and details depicting his concepts of the temples’ original appearance. His lavish plates offered for the first time a credible vision of the grandeur and beauty of ancient Roman design. Book IV’s seductive images have served as a primary design source for many great classical works henceforth. This video lecture offers a glimpse of the riches of Book IV and presents numerous examples of structures that drew inspiration from Palladio’s plates. A primary intent of this presentation is to encourage current practitioners to mine Book IV’s many resources for enriching contemporary classicism.
