Palladian Design : the Good, the Bad and the Unexpected

9 Sep 2015-9 Jan 2016

Riba, Royal Institute Of British Architects
London W1B 1AD

Overview

From the US Capitol to a 21st century Somerset cowshed Palladian Design: the Good, the Bad and the Unexpected introduces Palladio’s design principles and explores how they have been interpreted, copied and re-imagined across time and continents from his death in 1580 right up to the present day. Through focusing on his legacy, this exhibition explores how British architects such as Inigo Jones and Lord Burlington turned Palladianism into a national style.
