"Paper Palaces" explores the development of architectural treatises during the Renaissance, tracing the evolution of the genre from its roots in the medieval manuscript tradition to the printed books of the sixteenth century. Vaughan Hart analyzes the works of key figures such as Alberti, Serlio, and Palladio, examining how these authors utilized text, image, and architectural theory to influence the practice of building in Renaissance Europe.

"Paper Palaces" represents a significant contribution to the study of architectural history and Renaissance culture.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. De Architectura, the ten books by the Roman architect Vitruvius, survives as the only complete architectural treatise from antiquity.

In this important collection of essays, leading specialists examine the early editions of Vitruvius's writings and all the major Renaissance architectural treatises. The contributors offer new insights into the ideas of the treatises and discuss their significance in Renaissance Italy and their long-lasting influence throughout Europe. The book also traces the decline of treatises in the late seventeenth century through the influence of the French theorist Claude Perrault and new forms of architectural literature.The treatises, written for architects as well as for patrons and builders, illustrated ideal projects for villas, temples, palaces, and indeed cities. These "paper palaces" sought to establish design norms by adapting the rules of antique architecture to suit northern European building practices and contemporary needs.…
