In the Vicenza area, the architectural tradition expressed by Palladio, Scamozzi, and, in a modern key, Scarpa, is based on a constant dialogue between the built and the landscape. The villas and palaces are not isolated elements, but parts of an integrated system that has enhanced nature, history, and function, making the Vicenza landscape and townscape an international reference model for the harmony between architecture and the environment.
Andrea Palladio, Vincenzo Scamozzi, and Carlo Scarpa represent three fundamental moments in the relationship between architecture and landscape, each interpreter of a tradition that has been able to dialogue with the natural and urban context, leaving a lasting and recognisable mark.
The programme in Tradition and Classical Architecture:
The intensive program is dedicated to the tradition of Andrea Palladio, taught by leading academics and practitioners. Practical modules give participants both taught and hands-on experience, with opportunities for discussion, debate, and learning. Combining individual assignments, group work, and one-to-one support from tutors provides a unique learning experience for students and practitioners of all levels of ability and knowledge. The course offers an exceptional opportunity to learn from Andrea Palladio's masterpieces and also have the chance to visit the Brion Memorial by Carlo Scarpa, recently portrayed in the Dune 2 movie. It is a forum for discussing and practicing classical architecture, a chance to develop and improve skills in measured drawing and traditional architecture, living in the fantastic realm of Vicenza.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Participants:
· will live in Vicenza and travel to Altivole (Treviso), Bassano del Grappa, and Possagno;
· will be able to perform architectural design and technical representation of classical heritage;
· will receive tuition in hands-on skills, measured and freehand drawing, digital drawing skills, and 3D documentation projects;
· will be taught classical architectural orders and their design features;
· will have the opportunity to build connections with the INTBAU network, other participants, and professors from diverse national and international universities;
· will practice a design and graphical assignment.
Visiting keynote speakers will deliver talks and encourage debate on drawing, cultural heritage, and landscape.
SCHOOL VENUE
Vicenza, located in the heart of Veneto, is a city that perfectly embodies the meeting of history, art, and architecture. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, Vicenza is universally known as the "city of Andrea Palladio", in honor of the famous Renaissance architect who left some of his most iconic works here.
Palladian architecture, characterized by harmony, classical proportions, and innovation, has profoundly influenced Western urban planning and art, giving life to the style of "Palladianism" spread throughout the world.
Vicenza, therefore, offers architecture students a real open-air laboratory. Studying in Vicenza means immersing yourself in the living history of architecture, among unique monuments and an urban fabric rich in suggestions.
Vicenza can be reached via the airports of Venice, Treviso, Verona, and Bologna, and also with high-speed train connections from Milan, Bergamo, Bologna, and Rome.
