  Palladian architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palladian villas are usually on just three floors: a rusticated basement or ground floor, containing the service and minor rooms; above this, the piano nobile accessed through a portico reached by flight of external steps, containing the principal reception and bedrooms; and above this, a low mezzanine floor with secondary bedrooms and accommodation.
English Palladian houses were now no longer the small but exquisite weekend retreats from which their Italian counterparts were conceived, not villas but "power houses" in Sir John Summerson's term, the symbolic centers of power of the Whig "squirearchy" that ruled Britain.
In Virginia and Carolina, the Palladian manner is epitomized in numerous Tidewater plantation houses: Stratford Hall or Westover, or Drayton Hall near Charleston are all classic American colonial examples of a Palladian taste that was transmitted through engravings, for the benefit of masons—and patrons, too—who had no first-hand experience of European building practice.

Palladian analysts assess the effects of trends and events on companies across what are often considered separate industry sectors.

Palladian is thus completely independent of the conflicts that often arise in the equity research process.

 PALLADIAN - LoveToKnow Article on PALLADIAN
In 1716, Richard Boyle, 3rd earl of Burlington, who also admired the works of Pailadio, copied some of them, the front of old Burlington House being more or less a reproduction of the Palazzo Porto at Vicenza, and the villa at Chiswick a copy of the Villa Capua near Vicenza.
It is probably due to Lord Burlington that the title Palladian is the designation for the Italian style as practised in England.

 Palladianism --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Though some of his individual buildings were noteworthy exercises in Palladianism (a kind of 16th-century Italian Renaissance classicism), he was most highly regarded for his planning of streets and groups of houses as visual units.
After an almost abortive introduction of Palladianism by Inigo Jones in the early 17th century, the development was suspended until Sir Christopher Wren's appointment as surveyor of the king's works in 1669.
Most of his work is in the Palladian style, which uses classical forms and emphasizes clarity, order, and symmetry.

Palladian windows are named for Andrea Palladio, the Italian designer who invented them in the sixteenth century.
Designers usually put Palladian windows in front of staircases or atriums, large halls which need a lot of light.
Palladian windows most often appear in public buildings and the homes of wealthy people because glass was expensive in the eighteenth century and Palladian windows require more glass than regular windows.

The Palladian Ensemble’s latest CD on Linn Records, Les Elemens, is a programme of virtuoso French chamber music by Marin Marais and Jean-Féry Rebel.
The Minkowski rendition of "Chaos" (the first movement of the suite) is truly elemental, an eruption of sound that goes on to suggest danger throughout the six and a half minutes of "Chaos".
The Palladians can't challenge it, though they still hit you in the stomach for the first minute or two, but a gain is that the piece comes to sound more of its period and just as amazing for that.

Hersey's rules are rather convincing in their ability to capture Palladio's standards for the interiors of villas (room sizes, proportions, and relationships to one another) and define the composition of Palladian facades (massing, colonnades and arcades, fenestration, etc.).
The development of a program which allows the average student to take Palladio's place "at the drafting table" is an obvious opportunity to involve formerly uninterested students in an interaction between historical prototypes and current design practice.
As long as Possible Palladian Villas is used as a supplement to less exciting but more reliable accounts of Renaissance architecture, it is a welcome addition to the literature and, I am sure, a harbinger of things to come.
