  Palladian architecture - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Palladian architecture is a European style of architecture derived from the designs of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio (1508–1580).
In both his architectural treatises and the buildings Palladio designed and built, he followed the principles defined by the Roman architect Vitruvius and his 15th century disciple Leone Battista Alberti who adhered to principles of classical Roman architecture, as opposed to the rich ornamental style of the Renaissance.
Hoban born in Callan, County Kilkenny in 1762, studied architecture in Dublin, where Leinster House (built circa 1747) was one of the finest buildings at the time.

 Kant, Immanuel -- Aesthetics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Having made the various distinctions between the matter and the form of expression in genius' work, or again between the object and its presentation, Kant applies these to a brief if eccentric comparative study of the varieties of fine art (sect.51-53).
According to the manner of presentation, he divides all fine arts into the arts of speech (especially poetry, which Kant ranks the highest of the arts), the arts of visual form (sculpture, architecture and painting), and the arts involving a play of sensible tones (music).
The last pages of this part of Kant's book are taken up with a curious collection of comments on the 'gratifying' (non-aesthetic but still relatively free activities), especially humor.
