Andrea Palladio: Why Was He the Most Influential Architect of All Time? with Professor Duncan Stroik
To many people, Andrea Palladio has become synonymous with Renaissance Classical architecture. The stone-carver from Padua is also considered to be one of the most inventive architects of all time. This lecture will explore the architecture of Palladio in the Venetian context in which it developed. How did the city of Venice shape Palladio, and to what extent did he in turn shape the city? We will examine five of Palladio's greatest architectural inventions found in his designs for villas and palaces throughout the Veneto.
Duncan G. Stroik is a practicing architect, author, and Professor of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame. His award-winning work includes Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel in California, the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, and Saint Joseph Cathedral in South Dakota, for which he won the 2013 Acanthus Awards' Award of Arete
