	Villa Capra "La Rotonda" biography .ms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		To describe the villa as a 'rotonda' is technically incorrect as the building is not circular but rather the intersection of a square with a cross.
		This same view, in reverse, from the villa, highlights the classical chapel on the edge of Vicenza itself, thus villa and town are united.
		Today the Villa Capra is in the ownership of Mario di Valmarana, an architect, and expert on the works of Palladio and also a former professor of architecture at University of Virginia since 1973.

		Among notable early modern architectural projects are exuberant and richly decorated buildings in Glasgow, Scotland, by Charles Rennie Mackintosh; imaginative designs for a city of the future by Italian visionary Antonio Sant’Elia; and houses with flowing interior spaces and projecting roofs by the American pioneer of modernism, Frank Lloyd Wright.
		Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye (1928-1931) at Poissy, France, exemplifies all of these features, and its circular staircase and series of ramps help to showcase his arrangement of spaces and volumes.
		For the Villa Mairea (1939) in Noormarkku, Finland, Aalto layered sensuous strips of teak and other woods, even using teak for the venetian blinds on the exterior of the windows.

	Villa Capra, or Villa Rotunda - Andrea Palladio - Great Buildings Online
		Situated on the top of a hill just outside the town of Vicenza, the Villa Capra is called the Villa Rotonda, because of its completely symmetrical plan with a central circular hall.
		The villa is asymmetrically sited in the topography, and each loggia, although identical in design, relates to the landscape it enfronts differently through variations of wide steps, retaining walls and embankments.
		This axis is flanked by a service building and continues visually to a chapel at the edge of the town, thus connecting villa and town.

		The initial site of the Villa Rotunda the viewer is faced with three of the four projecting porticoes that lift the villa from the land.
		Visually the villa is separated from the landscape by the elevation and the smooth surface quality, the sharp right angles and geometric forms.
		Although most of the decoration was added much later to the villa the eight statues that stand at the end of the stairs "were added immediately, so quickly (four years after the building had begun) that Palladio could credit their sculptor in the Four Books." This controversy art historian has not been able to solve.

		The Villa Rotunda was not intended to be a farm centre; but a place for otium and entertainment close to the city.
		In this instance, the connection remains mainly for the owner as it is the interior of the dome that evokes the dome of the Pantheon, the exterior of the Rotunda hardly resembles Hadrian’s monument at all.
		Unlike the Villa Barbaro at Maser, it could be said that this work was formed as a house of the golden age of antiquity.

		The application of Bruno's Philosophy to the evolution of the villa may seem a little unusual at first reading, but the villa is a domestic building built on the classical style.
		The Rotunda combined the form of the temple and the spirit of the ideal villa.
		The similarities to Palladio's work are evident (to his Rotunda, however, it is limited to the domed central unit that is situated within a square block) in the pedimented temple front portico, the elevated main floor reached by a stair, the use of the Corinthian order, and the Palladian windows.

		Tipologically it differs from the other Palladio's buildings: in fact, it hasn't a longitudinal plane and it is also the only crowned by a cupola (that in the original map appeared hemispherical and more emergent).
		In the villa designed for the prelate, Palladio introduces, thus, formal elements assigned to suggest a significance of sacredness.
		Palladio probably was ispired by the roman Pantheon, then named "Rotonda", resuming the classical theme of the "sacred space" that comes from the contamination between the different formal models of the circle and of the quadrate, of the cube and of the sphere.

		Although he is currently serving as a professor of art theory and criticism, in the past, Hickey served as an owner-director of a number of galleries in NYC and Texas.
		Hickey is considered to be an influential source on art, and with his analysis of Palladio's Villa Rotunda, he gave the audience, which consisted of knowledgeable students and professionals, a different perspective about Palladio and especially The Villa.
		Hickey finished his lecture by notating the fact that as one looks at the Rotunda, one must laugh at the self awareness of the building, which has a façade all around it's four corners, something which at the time was considered radical.

		The roots of his principles lie in Classicism, but his specialty was the richly inventive way in which he could arrange Classical elements to produce surprises such as the four identical porches.
		This feature of the Villa Rotunda represents an unexpected exaggeration: although Classical in proportion and appearance, no Roman temple would boast a porch on every side.

		Of all the architecture defined throughout Andrea Palladio's career, the Villa Rotunda is considered to be the ultimate edification of it all.

		However I feel it is because in this one villa he solved so many fundamental problems in such a simple, original manner.

		Alone, unarmed, ignorant of the various patois—sole medium of intercourse in rural districts—our inquisitive and dauntless traveller visits one out-of-the-way region after another, apparently unconscious, whilst narrating these unique experiences, that his conduct was little short of heroic.
		The fittest introduction to the centennial edition of such a work is surely a survey of France in the present day—not made in the Rotunda of the British Museum or by the library fireside, but after Arthur Young's own fashion—the fruit of investigations as laboriously and lovingly pursued as those of my great predecessor.
