Participation grants for the 67th Course on Palladian Architecture:
PALLADIO ON THE BUILDING SITE.
In recent decades, the study of the forms, contexts and patrons of historical buildings has increasingly been accompanied by an in-depth analysis of their material reality. How are they built? With which materials and techniques? These are questions that reveal crucial aspects of Palladio's architectural personality. Brought up on building sites, he was always able to adapt traditional materials and construction techniques to his own expressive needs, inventing a "low-cost" architecture that could simulate the richness of the ancient style while making limited use of stone and precious marble.
The 2025 Course maintains the traditional programme of visits to the main Palladian works, which are real seminars inside the buildings. In order to provide a complete overview of "Palladio as a builder", this year's Course will be led by Italian and international architectural historians specialising in Palladio, together with experts in the conservation of historical monuments who, over the last fifteen years, have personally supervised research campaigns or the conservation and restoration of buildings.
The seven-day Course is open to architectural and art historians, architects, engineers and anyone interested in learning more about Palladio's work.
Grants are available for participants holding a degree in architecture, art history, engineering, or in disciplines related to the conservation of cultural heritage. To be eligible, applicants must have obtained their degrees or diplomas after 2015.
