Bücher von Richard J. Goy

This 1993 book tells the history of the building of Marin Contarini's palace - the Ca d'Oro, or 'House of Gold' - over a period of nearly twenty years. The relationships between Contarini and his craftsmen are analysed, as is the pivotal role of Contarini himself, the architect manque whose monument this was to become.

This 1989 study provides an authoritative account of the villages of the Venetian lagoon's architectural style and development and a companion volume to Dr Goy's Chioggia and the Villages of the Venetian Lagoon (1985). The book offers an encyclopaedic and fully illustrated guide on the building process.

This 1985 book is the study of the history of a group of villages, and one large town, that lie in the lagoons that surround Venice. Although written by an architect, it is not concerned solely with architecture, but with the whole history of the settlements, their origins, and their growth and development over the centuries.
