iam 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.

The Traditional Architecture Group (TAG) 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 TAG 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 influence 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 flourishing practices whose influence 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 reflect 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.

the Pythagoras School, a new traditional building crafts school. For this group she has created a program develop-ment plan now being implemented. Writing commissioned books and articles is another outlet for Ms. Franck’s educational mission, as these re-sources educate professionals and the general public alike about good architecture and its history. She is the author and designer of Jose M. Allegue: A Builder’s Legacy, commis-sioned by Mr. Lloyd Zuckerberg. Nearing completion is the ICA&CA’s Handbook of Classical Architecture, of which Ms. Franck is the editor and a contributing author. Her column, Building Blocks, appears in each issue of New Old House Maga-zine. For each column Ms. Franck contributes an article and an original hand drawn sketch. Recognizing her leadership, in 2002 the Prince's Foun-dation awarded her the first Public Service Award for "her outstanding contribution to architectural education and de-sign." In 2007 she was appointed Harrison Design Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology College of Architec-ture. And in 2009 she will serve as visiting critic at the Uni-versity of Notre Dame School of Architecture. In all her educational work Ms. Franck strives to improve the literacy and skill of designers and builders, whether they work in the high-end custom realm or in the mass market, and the appre-ciation and literacy of the general public.
Developing and directing educational programs for profes-sional, student, and public audiences is an essential compo-nent of Ms. Franck's practice. After serving a teaching ap-pointment in Rome for the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture in 1996 and 1997, she was ap-pointed the first Executive Director of the ICA&CA. Ms. Franck now serves on the Board of Directors of the ICA&CA and the College of Chapters of the International Network of Traditional Building, Architecture and Urban-ism. In addition to her volunteer work for these organiza-tions, she also speaks regularly on topics related to Classical architecture, both old and new, and has become a recog-nized expert on traditional American domestic architecture. Since 1996 she has developed, directed, and adminis-tered educational programs such as the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America’s (ICA&CA's) Certificate in Classical Architecture for Design and Construction Pro-fessionals, which she created for the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD); the ICA&CA’s Summer Program in Classical Architecture, its Rome and Naples Architectural Drawing Tours, and its Continuing Education program which now reaches over 250 professionals each semester. Prior to her volunteer work at the ICA&CA, she adminis-tered the only two American Summer Schools of The Prince of Wales's Foundation. She has recently consulted to

Design & Decoration
Waterfront elevation of Chadsworth Cottage (above) is modeled on both Palladian and local North Carolinian precedents. View into Dining Room (below left) shows a portion of the interior column screen dividing the Living Room, Lower Pas-sage, and Dining Room. Master Bedroom (below right) displays the owner’s collection of French Empire and American Classical furniture and decorative arts.
Lower passage at Chadsworth Cottage (above) extends from the front to the back of the house, filling the first floor rooms with light from the stair hall and waterfront porch, as well as providing passive cooling during hot summers. Wa-terfront balcony railing (below left) reinterprets the bundled wheat railing design often found in American Georgian and
Federal period architecture. Serlian window detail (below right) shows design possibilities using stock products.
C HRISTINE G. H. FRANCK is a designer and educator based in New York City. Before establishing her
own practice, she interned with the office of Allan Greenberg, Architect in Washington, DC and served as the first Executive Director of the Institute of Classi-cal Architecture & Classical America (ICA&CA). Ms. Franck currently serves on the Board of Directors of the ICA&CA and the College of Chapters of the International Network of Traditional Building, Architecture, and Urban-ism (INTBAU). Her design sensitivity was developed at an early age in her hometown of Williamsburg, Vir-ginia. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia and a Master of Ar-chitecture from the University of Notre Dame. Her award-winning residential design work in-cludes such diverse projects as the design and decora-tion of custom residences, the renovation of apartments and lobbies in New York City, and market-rate housing design for New Urban developments. Her work has been published in Architecture, New Old House, Period Homes, Residential Architect, Wrightsville Beach Magazine, Wilmington Magazine, In Style Magazine, The Classicist No. 6, A Decade of Art and Architecture and exhibited at The
Art of Building Cities, and A Decade of Art and Architec-ture. In 2007 her debut residential project, Chadsworth Cot-tage, shown here, was awarded the Palladio Award for Best New Residential Construction Under 5000 Square Feet. Designed as a show-house to demonstrate that correct and beautiful classical architecture can be created using stock products at a moderate coast, Chadsworth Cottage is embed-ded in the Anglo-Palladian tradition underlying North Caro-lina’s Georgian and Federal architectural history. Situated at the northern tip of a coastal barrier island, Chadsworth Cottage was required to meet stringent building codes related to the hurricane and flood prone area. For ex-ample, the entire lower level of the house was designed to break-away from the structure during flood events and win-dows and doors had to meet high performance standards. Though the site imposed many challenges, these challenges created opportunities for unique design solutions. Ms. Franck’s work on Chadsworth Cottage also in-cluded the full decoration of the new home and design of the landscape. Occupying a prominent position within the landscape, the home has become a recognizable landmark to local mariners and was recently recognized as Wrightsville Beach Magazine’s Home of Distinction.
