Many historians of architecture have viewed the villas of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) as physical manifestations of the classical architectural principles described in his treatise 'The Four Books of Architecture' ('I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura'). Written toward the end of his life, 'The Four Books' illustrate Palladio's built work, redrawn the way he wanted it to be. In this study, American architect and educator Peter Eisenman analyzes twenty of Palladio's villas, offering a radical interpretation of the Renaissance master's work.
