After the successful conclusion of the centenary celebrations of Andrea Palladio's birth, there are still many unanswered questions about his work. Antonio Foscari retraces Andrea Palladio's life and offers new perspectives on the architects built and unbuilt work. The author reveals an image of Venice that differs from the one we all know: a city that projects herself into the modern age by abandoning the accepted principles of late medieval culture that had so profoundly influenced its formation. AUTHOR: Antonio Foscari, Architect and Professor of History of Architecture at the University IUAV of Venice since 1971, has researched and published extensively throughout his career in the field of Renaissance architectural history. Since 1973, the year in which he restored the villa built by Palladio in Malcontenta, Foscari focussed his research on Andrea Palladio.

Mixed feelings about Antonio Foscari's book, a recounting of the life of the architect with an emphasis on projects that never got off the ground. As far the buildings are concerned, Foscari knows what he's talking about, helped along by really nice book design with visual footnotes reflecting whatever's under discussion. Where the wheels begin to fall off though is his take on the historical context - mostly cause he can't make up his mind whether it diminishes Palladio's genius to admit that he had to play within the Venetian Republic's rules. Foscari's so set on the architect as a unimpeachable superman that the only solution is simply detaching him from life, leaving Palladio, in the words of Charlie Brooker, 'ignoring all the pricks milling around him like he's gliding through the fucking Matrix'. At one point the author flatly states that a technical disagreement was 'the only time he had ever complained in his entire life'. Give me a break. ( )
