La Rotonda è quadrata Università IUAV di Venezia

LA ROTONDA È QUADRATA is a book aimed at an audience of eight- to ten-year-olds that highlights the key elements of architecture.
The picture book tells the story of architect Andrea Palladio’s villa La Rotonda, describing its light and proportions. The villa is located in Vicenza and is an example of Italian architecture and culture. The book contains a ruler on which the Vicenza unit of measurement that Palladio used is engraved, while on the other side of the ruler is the corresponding measurement in centimetres. The ruler serves as a support for carrying out the exercises proposed in the book. Next, there is a map that guides the reader to discover the views of the villa.
Finally, there are useful modules for creating three-dimensional constructions.
