Fra Giocondo, Verona
-arches on columns and also has pilaster showing that it is transitional
-each column is a different color, which is using local materials
-there is a use of grotesque motifs, painted decoration
-also has statues as a vertical emphasis
-significant because it seems to be in a serious transition of styles between classical and mannerism
Giovanni Falconetto and Alvise Cornaro, Padua
-loggia was meant for a theater, in the antique style of theater its sole purpose was to be the re-creation of an ancient theater
-it is questioned whether Alvise Cornaro was masterminding the building
-is an odium which is designed for music
-elements of the building such as alternating pediments signal the adoption of a Renaissance style
Palazzo Bevilacqua begun 1530
Michele Sanmicheli, Verona Italy
-owes a great deal to the new mannerist ideas because of the very complex interplay of motifs on the facade some which can be traced back to Giulio Romano-It is significant for having a texture that is much richer than many other building of this period
-the basement is heavily rusticated, also has an order of banded pilasters
-richly carved keystones in the window heads
-mezzainine windows on the piano nobile are small and there is sculptures and a rich cornice
-all of which are contribute to Bevilacqua becoming a mannerist exemplar
-the main entrance is on the left giving the building a ABCBCBA
Palazzo Canossa later 1530s
-Sanmicheli, Michele, Verona
-similar to the House of Raphael because of its rusticated basement and a smooth piano nobile with large windows separated by pairs of pilasters and also has a complicated texture-the facade is simply articulated by coupled pilasters and large round headed windows, also there is a marked horizontal stress due to the impost moulding continuing on either side as far as the pilasters, and is linked by a flat panel like shape running from the windows behind the pilasters and out again into the next window bay
-it is a departure from the type of a Roman palace in favor of a form more reminiscent of Peruzzi's Farnesia
-also recalls Giulio Romanos Palazzo del Te because it has triple arches at the main entrance and there are mezanine windows on the ground floor
Ca' d'Oro 1422-built for the Contarini family
-similar in style to the doges palace with the shape and size of the windows
-it is a venetian palace
-has a venetian gothic style mixed with byzantine
-has a double arcade with wide openings on the groud floor and and narrow ones immediately above it
-the recessed colonnaded loggia gives access to the entrance hall directly from the canal
-the palazzo is built around a smaller inner courtyard
-stands on the grand canal
-House of gold
-the facade is assymetrical to let in a lot of light
-quatrefoil motif was very popular (a Gothic design) as were rounded arches (influences of Byzantine and Romanesque architecture)
-The asymmetrical organization and large windows are reflected in the plan, with a large central room, or spine, designed to pull light down the center of the building so that it could dissipate into side rooms
-All Venetian houses had wells, but few more wealthy families could afford to have their wells inside, and some even had interior gardens, like the Ca d'Oro
Palazzo Grimani at S. Luca, begun 1556-built for the Grimani family
-inspired by the triumphal arch
-on the grand canal and is long and narrow in plan
-it is no longer gothic like ca' d'oro but now takes on a more renaissance style
-the first floor is the water story and there is no longer rustication showing this to be the main story
-in between the storys is a balister that goes across the whole building
-there is an alternating fenestration with the bays, keystones and victories in the spandrels
Libreria Sansoviniana, 1536-88
Piazza San Marco, Venice, by Sansovino
-occupies one side of the Piazzetta of St Mark's facing the Doge's Palace
-was originally founded by Cardinal Bessarion in 1468
-one of very few buildings named after the name of its architect
-Palladio in 1570 referred to it as, "the richest and most ornate building that has been put up perhaps since the time of the ancients"-Sansovino had to design a building that would not minimize the importance of the other two buildings but must also stand up to both
-the library has a long unbroken facade which runs parallel to the long facade of the Doge's Palace and and has a matching return facade on the waters edge
-he keeps the roof line lower than the Palace
-uses a great deal of decorative sculpture and an extremely rich texture of light and shade
-the heaviness of the Doric order is a reference to the classical prototype and is very Bromantesque
-because of the use of the Doric order Sansovino's building was referred to as a model of correctness
Casino Pius IV 1560-63
Rome, Pirro Ligorio
-Gardens outside the Vatican
-little set of two palaces facing each other
-palace is 3 stories with surface ornament like Raphael palace
-entrance is similar to the Palazzo Massimi, but it is much more vertical with an ornamental surface
-the 2nd story has no windows which is ambiguous a mannerist notion
The Facing Building- the Loggia and Courtyard
-has Peruzzi like windows
-it is from a formal point of view with a simple loggia open on both sides-architect was also an archaeologist and was interested in uncovering classical antiquities which can be seen through the sculptures and highly decorated facade
Rome, Pirro Ligorio
- it has Vatican antiquities such as the large pinecone in the center these antiquities were designed to be part of the overall display
-it is contemporary to the culmination of the Belvedere
-called nichione- the big niche
-it is associated with mannerism because of the scale expansion all the way to the top of the cornice
