‘Growth of the Western tradition’ looks at the way in which buildings are made to look like one another, so that they carry the right sort of messages. Examples such as Thomas Jefferson's house at Monticello, Virginia, and Lord Burlington's Chiswick Villa in London, are used to show how architects have been influenced by buildings from the past. Andrea Palladio, a 16th-century Italian architect, inspired the architecture of 17th and 18th century England, resulting in the English Palladian style of Inigo Jones and Lord Burlington, among others. Decorum or authority was often added to a building by recalling aspects of the architecture of the past.
