PALLADIO The Architect and His Influence in America

a film by James Ackerman and John Terry

[@rossharmonics]

I was friends with John Terry, the cinematographer, in 1970s. He first studied architecture before turning to film. His camera eye is present throughout the this film.

Currently writing part of a arch history paper on Ca' Pesaro. Its amazing how much Palladio inspired architecture and the movements that followed years after his death, both in Venice and across the world.

Thank you, Mr Ackerman. You had made the film for all time.

[@JavierGalindoJGCH]

this is wonderful...great to see the young Ackerman explaining his own research.

It was quite interesting seeing the real palladian villas contrasted against the homespun versions in the USA.

So amazing to see Venice before mass tourism, thank you for the upload!

[@sauravayyagari7606]

but Venice was always, in a relative sense, a "tourist" urban port except for the dark ages.

[@oliviaz3395]

@@sauravayyagari7606 True, but the cruise ships and massive coach bus car parks and double decker trains have definitely increased numbers..

Makes me homesick : I used to live there

[@Jignasty5]

Excellent work. I love Georgian Architecture. I remember studying Palladio's work in History of Architecture I and thinking to myself, "I Love the proportions! I've got to read the four books..." that was 1999 and I still have never even looked at one page. What can I say? Life got pretty busy.

Also, Anyone get the urge to learn woodcut engraving after watching this?

[@kosovir]

Shouldve wouldve couldve. Maybe the beauty is to keep wondering and never know for sure what is in those books.

Great documentary!! Thanks for sharing.

[@josealexandreferreiradacos193]

A well detailed and nicely conceived documentary. I wish similar documentaries could be found related to Padua, Milan and Sicily. Thank you.

mannerism

[@sauravayyagari7606]

Have you read Il Gattopardo, the Leopard by Giuseppe di Lampedusa, though it is prose, it has many detailed architectural descriptions of Sicilian estates.

[@bogdangaliceanu6326]

Any relation to the Ackerman Gallery at UNC Chapel Hill?

Look here is my plan: Iam going to type in urban renewal in old world in North America.

[@rossanomacchioni7746]

Palazzo chiericati Is masterpiece of Palladian palace.

[@jaume38]

To appreciate the true influence of Palladio in America you have to study the architecture of Buenos Aires, because Buenos Aires is an American city, and America is a continent full of countries.

[@seanevans6357]

Shoutout to my fellow ARCH 226 SQUAD down at UMD watching this video!!

[@dustinwatkins7843]

If you're someone who says 'shoutout' and 'squad' then you're not someone who can appreciate or understand classical architecture - those two concepts are incompatible. Fuck off 'bro' and go buy a McMansion.

Nice documentary, but you really mean 'PALLADIO The Architect and His Influence in the US'. America is the continent.

[@desp8161]

I hope you're joking because in America and Canada a most other places, America refers to The United States. There is no demonym for Americans other than American. If you want to refer to continents, you say North or South America. They are obviously two different continents anyways.

[@wewilltravelsoon2237]

Nope America - North & South 😊

[@BalthasarCarduelis]

​@@desp8161there's no demonym for estadosunidenses in English because there's fifty united states with fifty unique demonyms. Texans especially take offence to being labelled "American", which is especially funny because in the rest of America we just call you all "yankees" regardless of if you're unionist or confederate. Many yankee style guides are beginning to catch up to the rest of the world and they call your "demonym" the US Citizen, but that probably offends Democrats and their "undocumented" illegal aliens.
