Christof Thoenes conceived the original idea for the seminar, which is being developed by Guido Beltramini (CISA Andrea Palladio) and Howard Burns (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa).

Each paper, to be read either in Italian or in English, must not exceed 20 minutes (around 2,500 words), and will be followed by ten minutes of discussion. Anyone interested in participating should send an abstract (no more than 250 word) and a brief CV (no more than 100 words) to cfp@cisapalladio.org by November 1, 2017. The geographic area and historical period can be chosen at will, provided the paper deals with architecture conceived to be built. Scholars may apply individually or propose a theme to be discussed in a single session by a group or team.
