Palladio Journey: On-site study of the architecture and urbanism of Andrea Palladio.
&
Join the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, Florida Chapter and The University of Miami for an onsite study course in Venice and the Veneto on the Architecture and Urbanism of the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio from Jan. 2 to Jan.13, 2012. This study program is open to ICAA members, AIA members, professionals and interns.
In winter time, the city of Venice and its region of influence, the Veneto, are most beautiful and evocative as the mist from the Adriatic Sea moves across the “ lagoon” and the marshes of this extraordinary geography. The architecture of Andrea Palladio, in the city and the territory, is impacted by this muted northern winter light and by the luminous clarity of the Italian Renaissance.
The artistic and cultural heritage of Venice and its territory is evident along its canals and squares, in museums and churches, in the villa and the palazzo, and reveals itself as a dazzling culture which spans a thousand years and remains vibrant today.
In Palladio’s architecture this extraordinary legacy is manifest in the theory behind the works and the buildings themselves. The houses, palaces and churches Palladio built in the XVI Century are works of lasting value and offer exceptional lessons in art, architecture and urbanism. The visit includes the study of those architects and artists who were part of the cultural sphere of the Renaissance in the north of Italy and had an impact on Palladio’s conception of art and architecture, such as the frescoes by Giotto in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padova, Palladio’s birth place, or the works of Alberti, Mantegna, and Giuglio Romano in Mantova.
Students are required to produce a travel journal where the works visited can be recorded an analyzed in written and drawing form under the supervision of faculty and professionals from The University of Miami, School of Architecture and The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art.
