Thorsten Bürklin & Martin Ebert 
The Palladio Method 
Draughtsman and Designer, Mason and Engineer. Learning from the Master

The architect Andrea Palladio was a draughtsman and a designer, a mason and an engineer, an innovator and an image maker. His growing importance from the 16th century onwards was based on his profound expertise in architectural issues that went beyond singular tasks and situations, and beyond his particular moment in history. His way of thinking and solving architectural problems proved invaluable for centuries to come. The contributions to this volume reflect on Palladio’s method(s) beyond historism and style, and thus provide insights into design and building in our time.
