Guarini was talented in many areas and was considered a
philosopher, mathematician and theorist but not an artist having
had no experience of drawing. This changed when he became involved
in the architectural profession through studying books and staying
in theatine priest monastries all over Europe - from Rome to
Venice, Milan to Veneto, Sicily to Paris culminating in a longer
sojourn in Turin. He effortlessly blended architecture and
geometry, and invented his extraordinary style by introducing
building practices from northern Europe such as stereotomy and
ribbed vaults deriving from Gothic buildings, into the Italian
architectural tradition.With Guarini, visual perception becomes the
essential element in architecture, together with the relationship
between light and space, resulting in completely novel buildings
such as the church of San Lorenzo and the Palazzo Carignano located
in Turin, an astounding prototype of a princely residence. This
book is a product of a seminar organised in 2002 by Centro
Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio and
supported by the Compagnia di San Paolo, and is the most complete
and up-to-date analysis of the work of this great architect, thanks
to the scientific contributions of today's most important scholars
and experts.
