Palladian Façades: Inhabited Thresholds and Theatrical Urban Micro-Cosms

The essay in investigates the theme of the façade in Palladio's work, interpreting it both as a threshold between the city and the interior, and as an internal component of architectural space—a reinvention of urban themes—and explores how his legacy remains vital in contemporary architecture (as in the Sala Rossi at the Fenice Theater by Aldo Rossi or The Half Moon Theater by Florian Beigel). A series of montages by the author support the essay. In: Bürklin, Thorsten/Ebert, Martin (2024). Palladian Façades: Inhabited Thresholds and Theatrical Urban Micro-Cosms.
