Andrea Palladio's I quattro libri dell'architettura, printed in Venice in 1581 by Bartolomeo Carampello, is a treatise on architecture for builders and patrons, covering the classical orders, domestic buildings, roads, bridges, squares and temples. Its pages are engraved plans, elevations and sections of Roman and Palladian buildings, showing column orders, stairs and room layouts drawn with precise ruled lines and labelled letters, which a designer can use as a model for classical proportion and symmetrical plan structure.
