Overview

I qvattro libri dell'architettvra, written by Andrea Palladio and published in 1570, is a cornerstone of Western architectural literature. This edition, printed in 1601, continues to disseminate Palladio's influential designs and architectural principles. The four books cover a range of topics, from the classical orders and their application to the design of private houses and public buildings, to the construction techniques and materials used in 16th-century Italy. Illustrated with detailed engravings, the treatise provides both practical guidance for builders and a theoretical framework for architects. Palladio's emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and the use of classical elements has had a lasting impact on architectural design, inspiring generations of architects and shaping the built environment across Europe and beyond.
