Villa and territory

Database of Renaissance architecture (1997)

This catalog of the built and unbuilt villas of Andrea Palladio was carried out at MIT, Harvard University, and at the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio in Vicenza, Italy. In this multimedia database maps, photographs, texts and models combine to form a heterogeneous information model representing the interdependence of geopolitics and architectural theory in the Veneto of the late 16th century. The user interface does not privilege one particular view of the body of work; models can be used to search maps, texts to browse photographs.
