am delighted that the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Andrea Palladio has
provided an occasion for The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment and the
Traditional Architecture Group to join forces to mount a major exhibition of work by
the world’s leading practitioners of traditional and classical architecture.
The support of this event by INTBAU and the Institute of Classical Architecture in the
United States has meant that, for the first time, the four major organisations that champion
the values of humanism, tradition, continuity and environmental stewardship come together.
The exhibition reaffirms the goal that we share together of establishing a credible counterpoint
to the constant erosion of cornerstones of traditions in architecture and building that have
resiliently lasted for generations after Palladio.
It is very encouraging to see that at the outset of the twenty-first century so many leading
architects across many generations and countries with different traditions have come together
in celebration of values that transcend borders, age and indeed cultures.
The Prince’s Foundation, through its activities and network, has been instrumental
in providing a platform for, as well as a link between, education and best practice. I am
particularly pleased that so many of the architects who are part of our network and membership
programme are represented in the exhibition or are part of the supporting organisations.
Palladio’s legacy and his buildings will continue to educate, delight and enlighten future
generations. It is therefore vital that we capture the spirit and essence of his legacy and use
his wisdom to shape our own environment. This will, in turn, allow us to build buildings
that endure and create towns, cities and places that inspire future generations who may cast
a critical eye on the legacy we leave behind.
I congratulate the New Palladians; through their work they continue to enrich and
make relevant Palladio’s principles, which imbue their buildings with a sense of history
and continuity. Their endeavours preserve a rich tradition that has illuminated the path of
architects of many generations into the future we inhabit today.

he Traditional Architecture € rou‚ (TA€ ) is a society linked with the Royal
Institute of British Architects. The group was established in 2001 with the aim of
promoting and celebrating the achievements of architects who are inspired by and
follow the principles of traditional and classical architecture as a living source of inspiration
for creating contemporary buildings, towns and cities.
The five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Andrea Palladio has provided a fitting
occasion for the TA€ and The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment to gather
the exponents of traditional and contemporary classical architecture in a single event in
celebration of the legacy of Palladio and his indelible inƒ uence on their work.
We are particularly encouraged by the support of INTBAU and the Institute of Classical
Architecture and Classical America; their support reaffirms the common goal of a return to
fundamental and transcendental humanist values in the art of architecture and the craft of
building. The exhibitors represent an avant-guard of commercially successful and ƒ ourishing
practices whose inƒ uence is rapidly spreading around the world and helping to shape the
twenty-first century’s towns, cities and environment in a sustainable manner.
Unfettered by the contingencies of transient technological paradigms, the New Palladians
continue to build on and enhance his legacy within the contemporary practice of classicism
and traditional architecture. With the belief that modernity is a qualitative and not a
chronological category, their body of work continues to reƒ ect Palladio’s sustainability and
integrity in a new ecological humanism and urban civility.
The architecture of the New Palladians is inventive, innovative and part of a continuum,
but always and fundamentally inseparable from the fabric of a tradition that itself is
thoroughly alive and very changeable.
