Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Architecture Among a people with the vast material task of conquering the wilderness of a continent, mastering the riches of its soil, its forests, its waters and mountains, artistic expression takes chiefly the form of building, of architecture. It is in architecture, of all the arts, that America has said best what it has had to say. It is in architecture that America, grown to imperial might, has said something new and Vital in art.

This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Examples of American Domestic Architecture This question, then, of the necessity for reform in American Architecture, we propose to discuss; accompanying the discussion with illustrations showing work actually built in various localities. Presenting thus our theories as to what is undesirable and what desirable in Architecture, we also present a number of plates illustrating our own work. To furnish such an opportunity for judging the discrepancy between preaching and practice is per haps rash; but this judgment, together with the judgment as to the merits of the discussion, we leave with that great arbiter, the American public. Excepting a portion of the first five plates, the illustrations herein presented are reproduced from drawings by ourselves. As to the drawings showing our own designs, many of these were made to satisfy our clients, in the ordinary routine of office practice; but the larger number have been prepared especially for this book. Nearly all the work shown has been actually executed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: More than fifteen years after the success of the first edition, this sweeping introduction to the history of architecture in the United States is now a fully revised guide to the major developments that shaped the environment from the first Americans to the present, from the everyday vernacular to the high style of aspiration. Eleven chronologically organized chapters chart the social, cultural, and political forces that shaped the growth and development of American towns, cities, and suburbs, while providing full description, analysis, and interpretation of buildings and their architects. The second edition features an entirely new chapter detailing the green architecture movement and architectural trends in the 21st century. Further updates include an expanded section on Native American architecture and contemporary design by Native American architects, new discussions on architectural education and training, more examples of women architects and designers, and a thoroughly expanded glossary to help today's readers. The art program is expanded, including 640 black and white images and 62 new color images. Accessible and engaging, American Architecture continues to set the standard as a guide, study, and reference for those seeking to better understand the rich history of architecture in the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Homes; Or Sketches of Houses Suited to American Country Life: With Original Plans, Designs, Etc IN the pages I respectfully offer for perusal, I would have you look for no very new or critical remarks, or learned and technical disquisitions. Of course it may be presumed that, in studying the profession of an architect, I have, to the\extent of my ability, mastered the elementary rudiments, technicalities, and theories of the science; and, although I might show learning in discoursing of the nice distinctions between this and that school of ancient art, and quote Latin and Greek in support of my own peculiar tenets, I should very little interest you, and do nothing towards supplying your want of a plan for your house.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Vitruvius: An Architect's Handbook of Civic Art Therefore the architect who looks for inspiration as to grouping public buildings to best advantage into civic centers and layingr out public parks and pleasure grounds, will study with advantage the achievements of the builders of former times; and will find that these compositions, whether called castles or otherwise, often were truly civic centers of great artistic quality, contain ing in actuality everything the modern civic reformer wants to bring together: council chamber, law court, chapel, library and picture gallery, dance hall and plea sure grounds, which under normal conditions were acces sible indeed to all who made proper use of the facilities offered. And these centers in many cases were brought into thoroughly satisfactory esthetic relation to the town surrounding them. Most American cities have fallen victims of a grid iron arrangement of streets along which buildings of different character are lined up indiscriminately. It is hard under such conditions to_ place buildings to ad vantage. The inconsiderate introduction of diagonal streets often made matters worse instead of improving them. How churches and other important buildings were placed and made prominent in former times and how their surroundings and approaches were treated and pro tooted is a study well worth while to the American arch-i toot.

Download or read book American Architecture and Urbanism written by Vincent Scully and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic book authored by the foremost architectural historian in America, this fully illustrated history of American architecture and city planning is based on Vincent Scully's conviction that architecture and city planning are inseparably linked and must therefore be treated together. He defines architecture as a continuing dialogue between generations which creates an environment across time. This definitive survey extends beyond the cities themselves to the American scene as a whole, which has inspired the reasonable balanced, closed and ordered forms, and above all the probity, that he feels typifies American architecture.
