Review
Learning from Palladio sets Palladio in his context; discusses the theory of the orders, proportions, space composition, and facade design; and presents this material for practicing architects and students, so that the ideas can be applied in their architectural work today. Mitrovic's comprehensive Learning from Palladio reveals what architectural historians, practicing architects, and students can learn from Palladio today .his prediction that Palladio's classical architecture is the architecture of the future is daring in an academic book, and fascinating.

Excellent scholarship
Aug 22 2008
By Paul A. Ranogajec
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is an excellent summary of Palladio's design method. Although some of the discussion is quite technical and heavily formalist, Mitrovic offers a refreshing look at Palladio's singular achievement in architecture. At the end, he also offers an argument for the continuing relevance of Palladio's formal design for the contemporary architect--a viewpoint sure to rankle the die-hard modernist.
