Vincenzo Scamozzi: The Idea of a Universal Architecture Veilige Betaling

Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548–1616) was among Northern Italy’s leading architects. His comprehensive study of ancient classical architecture, including the possibilities for its application in a modern context, and many treatises were highly influential throughout Europe. Illustrated by photos and sketches of Scamozzi’s own buildings, ‘The Idea of a Universal Architecture’ combines three volumes of his published collections: on the most celebrated ancient and modern architects, on villas and country estates, and on the architectural orders and their application. An introductory essay by Ian Campbell places Scamozzi, his buildings, and his writings in historical context.
