Renaissance Architecture

In this episode, we explore the foundations of Renaissance architecture and its revival of classical Greek and Roman principles. We examine how symmetry, geometry, harmonic proportions, and classical orders such as Doric and Ionic reshaped European building design, with Andrea Palladio emerging as one of the movement’s most influential figures. Through his celebrated villas, churches, and treatise *The Four Books of Architecture*, Palladio codified classical ideas and helped spread Renaissance architectural style across Europe, establishing a lasting legacy of balance, logic, and refined proportion.
