Abstract

Andrea Palladio’s Four Books of Architecture (Venice, 1570) is his influential architectural testament, in which he set out his formulae for the orders, for room sizes, for stairs and for the design of details. The ‘interface’ which Palladio offers to his readers have no equals in texts of other Renaissance architects and in books of the same kind in the following centuries. It was therefore not only Pal-ladio’s architecture, with its rational basis, its clear grammar, its bias towards domestic projects, but also the effectiveness of his book as a mean of communi-cation leading to the immense influence of Palladio on the development of architecture in northern Europe, and later in North America. We realized a project having the goal to generate an instrument which could be able to superimpose to the original edition of The Four books a brand new web-based interface in order to offer a more organic and transversal comprehension of its contents. Otherwise the new edition, as a knowledge information system, it’s much more interesting than the former static 2D book page and shows the typical Palladian multimedia contents. Finally, Palladio’s main drawings are converted in a 3D space using 3D modelling techniques showing directly the two-way illustrated (text and drawing) character of his own architecture.
