Heinz Curator of Drawings at the Royal Institute of British Architects, his areas of specialty are Andrea Palladio and British architecture from 17th to early 20th centuries. He will demonstrate how the contributions of this 16th-century Venetian man influenced centuries of style, and how Palladianism became one of the most important styles ever designed by a single architect, and is still used in public and private buildings.Ĭharles Hind studied architectural history under Sir Howard Colvin at Oxford University. Heinz Curator of Drawings at the Royal Institute of British Architecture will examine the development of Palladianism in Britain using drawings, photographs and models from the RIBA's collections, as well as contemporary architects' practices.
British Palladianism, as developed by Jones, Campbell, Lord Burlington and William Kent also proved hugely influential in northern Europe and in the British Colonies including India and North America. Since the early 17th century, Palladio's work, as adapted by Inigo Jones for English taste and needs, has influenced architects and clients. The year 2015 marks the 300th anniversary of the publication of the first English translations of Andrea Palladio's I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura and Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus. This program is presented in partnership with the Royal Oak Foundation.
