Architecture is all around us, but few ever pay attention to the
men behind these constructions. Now in a newly updated and expanded
second edition, "Andrea Palladio: The Architect in His Time"
looks at the man who revolutionized western architecture during his long
life in the sixteenth century (he was a master of the arts and a true
Renaissance man). "Andra Palladio: The Architect in His Time"
covers his life and the inspirations for his craft, enhanced with
photographs of Palladio's work. A seminal coverage, "Andrea
Palladio: The Architect in His Time" is highly recommended for
community library Biography and Architectural Studies collections.
