Andrea Palladio: Through The Eyes of Contemporary Architects
27 Jan, 2009 - 21 Apr, 2009
Palladio鈥檚 enduring presence has shaped our experience of architecture and permeated its practice since the sixteenth century. This exhibition establishes a dialogue between the Renaissance master and contemporary practitioners from different generations who are shaping the future of architecture today. Through pictorial essays and film interviews each architect reveals how Palladio`s presence resonates with them. Some propose a literal translation of his ideas, others find Palladio鈥檚 presence in unexpected places, many respond to his grasp of the inherent characteristics of architecture - an essence that transcends style and time. These architects offer a lens through which we can discover and rediscover Palladio, adding to our experience of the exhibition Andrea Palladio: His Life and Legacy. The architects here challenge accepted views and suggest new ways of understanding Palladio鈥檚 influence and presence in contemporary practice.
