Excellent- More about The Proto-Industrial Architecture of the Veneto: in the Age of Palladio
During a period of economic prosperity in the Veneto mainland, architect Andrea Palladio designed buildings for early industries such as textiles, mining, metalworking, paper manufacture, ceramics, sawmilling, and leather-tanning. This book explores the architecture of these industries, highlighting the technological improvements in efficiency and quality. The study of these former proto-industrial buildings reveals the use of hydraulic power and smooth-running mechanical processes, which can be valuable to modern civilization.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 288 pages

The remarkable career of the architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) is largely due to an extraordinary moment of prosperity in the Veneto mainland, both in the city and in the countryside. This book brings to light for the first time the architecture of these early industries, especially the production of textiles (wool, silk), mining and metalworking, paper manufacture, ceramics, sawmilling, and leather tanning. The huge surge in patent applications to the Venetian Senate in the period highlights the parallel technological improvements in both efficiency and quality. Former proto-industrial buildings across the Veneto, studied at first-hand, reveal the efficiency of hydraulic power and smooth-running mechanical processes. Water power, a clean, renewable energy source, and structures made of natural, traditional materials, have much to teach today's civilization.
