April 7, 2022 - Palladio Inside Out

Speaker: Peter Eisenman
Interlocutor: Barry G. Bergdoll
Palladio belongs to a second generation of humanist architects who challenged Bramante’s idea of a classical model for a contemporary organism. Moving from a natural model to a mathematical model Palladio’s work is instructive for today when such a change in the precedent model may again necessary. It seems Palladio is always relevant.

So refreshing to hear from Peter talking about classical architecture.

Excellent lecture. The lecturer should read and lecture more and refrain from designing memorials.

[@dariagomezgane1643]

Wonderful to get the explanation about the Portico that we "couldn't see" in the P. Palladian Villa and about the "heterogeneous"/hybrid spaces designed by Palladio (when I read the book Palladio Virtuelle - dated 2015 - I didn't get it in full...). In the Rotunda how does the central hall - centripetal - become heterogeneous, with its - intersecting - transition [B] spaces? Thank you...

[@user-jv4yl5ks3d]

Yes. Because of poches on each side of the villa Rotonda the main space becomes heterogeneous. But the villa is not static because of asymmetrical interior. P.S. Sorry for my English.

[@dhungryarchitect]

Historians cant seem to catch up with thinking of a space in 3d. They view it as a material object and not as a void.

[@user-jv4yl5ks3d]

Yes. Good point. They see space as a solid, not as a void
