Summary:
Palladio (1508-80) combined classical restraint with constant inventiveness. In this study, Professor Ackerman sets Palladio in the context of his age - the Humanist era of Michelangelo and Raphael, Titian and Veronese - and examines each of the villas, churches and palaces in turn and tries to penetrate to the heart of the Palladian miracle.

Summary:
Palladio (1508-80) combined classical restraint with constant inventiveness. In this study, Professor Ackerman sets Palladio in the context of his age - the Humanist era of Michelangelo and Raphael, Titian and Veronese - and examines each of the villas, churches and palaces in turn and tries to penetrate to the heart of the Palladian miracle. Palladio's theoretical writings are important and illuminating, he suggests, yet they never do justice to the intense intuitive skills of "a magician of light and colour". Indeed, as the photographs in this book reveal, Palladio was "as sensual, as skilled in visual alchemy as any Venetian painter of his time", and his countless imitators have usually captured the details, but not the essence of his style. There are buildings all the way from Philadelphia to Leningrad which bear witness to Palladio's "permanent place in the making of architecture", yet he also deserves to be seen on his own terms.

Summary:
In an original and sweeping historical study, the sociologist author of The Uses of Disorder relates society's most prominent ills, from clinical narcissism to political apathy, to the decline of public life and the rise of an arid privatism, exalting intimacy and enshrining personality. His model is the Enlightenment cosmopolis, where "a balance of public and private geography. . . did exist"; his method is to investigate the change in public roles - "the social terms on which human beings are expressive" - from the 1750s to the 1890s in the prototypical urban centers, London and Paris.
