About This Item
London: Phaidon, 1997. 1st edition. Nice copy. quarto. softback with french flaps 320pp., col. & b/w pls., maps, plans, bibliog., index, ÔBook abandons the traditional chronological approach of earlier histories in favour of one that is able to encompass the diverse and manifold influences that have affected the city's development. The buildings are placed within Venice's unique urban context, taking account of its characteristic topography, changing light, reflective waters, peculiar government and prime geographical position at the crossroads of trade routes to the East. A wide range of buildings is covered, from fishermen's cottages to the palazzi on the Grand Canal and from the simplest of early Christian basilicas to Palladio's masterpieces and Longhena's Santa Maria della SaluteÕ
