ANDREA PALLADIO
Andrea Palladio (1508, Padua-1580 Vicenza) began his architectural training under the protective mantle of the poet Giangiorgio Trissino, who provided him with the opportunity to travel to Rome. Once there, Palladio studied the city’s classical buildings, an experience which later led him to publish one of the first guides of the eternal city. "L’ Antichita di Roma" (1554). He also studied the 10 books of Vitruvius, the only theoretical legacy of architecture from Roman period. One of the Palladio’s fist large architectural works was the t...

NEW YORK VERTICAL
(...) The selection of verticals in this book give some idea of how much visual competence, energy and endurance were necessary to find locations and perspectives, the right floor, spot, angle, and position of the sun. The final difficulty was often finding someone who grants Hamann the access to take these photographs. If that didn’t work, Hamann called on a bit of cheek and some luck to get past them, as was the case with the Chrysler Building. When friends of his on a film crew received special permission to shoot at the top of his favo...

JEAN NOUVEL
Jean Nouvel (Fumel 1945) studied at the School of Fine Arts in Paris while alternating his studies with work in the office of Claude Parent. From his beginnings, Jean Nouvel sought solutions alien to the modern movement and was thus already considered postmodern in the 1970s. During that period he met the scene decorator Jacques Marquet who is a very important colleague and good partner of conversation. All of his buildings have a light and etheric appearance, such as the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid as well as the Cartier Foundation in Pa...

VICTOR HORTA
Victor Horta (Ghent, 1861-1947) is certainly one of the maximum exponents of the Art Nouveau movement. Already in his first works Horta will abandon the neo-classical style he learned in his training and give himself over to the search for a new form of architectural expression that matches the Zeitgeist of his times. This exploration announces itself throughout his whole professional development, which is marked by the evolution of different recurrent themes. In the one-family homes, one also detects Horta’s careful marking of interior de...
