Book Synopsis The Architecture of James H. Johnson by : Katie Eggers Comeau
Download or read book The Architecture of James H. Johnson written by Katie Eggers Comeau and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic resource survey documents the career and buildings of Rochester, New York's most innovative mid-twentieth century architect, James H. Johnson (1932-2016). In a career spanning nearly 60 years, Johnson designed hundreds of buildings in the greater Rochester area. He is known locally as the designer of the Antell-Whitman House (better known as the "Mushroom House"), Liberty Pole, and Temple Sinai, but his other works are not generally well known, nor is the sheer number of buildings he designed appreciated either by the general public or the architectural community.Johnson's lengthy and prolific career has left the Rochester region with a tremendous legacy of innovative, unusual buildings. Having developed an early fascination with construction, Johnson always retained his interest in participating in the fabrication of his buildings, and was often found on building sites, particularly when he supervised and took a hands-on role in the construction of his series of earth-formed buildings in the late 1960s. Inspired by nature, geometry, history, and certain architectural predecessors, notably Bruce Goff, Johnson quietly demonstrated his determination to pursue novel approaches to design and construction in both highly visible public projects and in private, personal projects for clients who wanted a house intimately tied to nature, often away from public view. From his earliest projects to some of his last, he thought expansively about integrating architecture with other art forms, and regularly collaborated with artists working in other fields, incorporating their artistic visions into his own. While his expertise with large-scale construction brought him around the world on a few occasions, he spent almost all of his long career working in the Rochester area, where his daring, expressive designs remain some of the boldest and most creative contributions to the region's architectural heritage.
Book Synopsis American Classicist by : Elizabeth Meredith Dowling
Download or read book American Classicist written by Elizabeth Meredith Dowling and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a career that spanned the first half of this century, Philip Trammell Shutze produced over 750 architectural works. Because his production was so large, this first book to examine his buildings concentrates on the more important ones, which as a body represent an architectural achievement of a very high order of refinement, grace, and beauty. Although Shutze practiced from 1912 to 1968, covering the period of the ascendancy of modernism through its final triumph, he remained a firmly committed classicist, practicing out of an office in Atlanta where he produced an extraordinary body of monumental commercial and institutional buildings and country villas. After graduating from Georgia Tech, Shutze stayed a year at Columbia University before he won the prestigious Rome Prize in 1915. Travelling to Rome later that year, he became a member of one of the earliest classes of fellows to occupy the recently completed American Academy on the Janiculum overlooking the city. The magnificent palazzo designed by America's most renowned architectural firm, McKim, Mead, and White, did not however please the fellows, who found it "too new," and therefore not authentic (Shutze would later devote much attention to techniques for instantly aging building facades). With the coming of the First World War, Shutze and most of his classmates stayed in Rome as Red Cross volunteers, but when the war was over they returned to he Academy and to their studies. During his five years in Rome, Shutze immersed himself in learning everything he could about the great buildings of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. He painstakingly measured those buildings as well as the monuments of the Roman Empire, committing the smallest of details to paper and to memory. Returning to the U.S. in 1920, Shutze worked in New York for Mott Schmidt, who designed townhouses for such families as the Astors, Morgans, and Vanderbilts, and he also worked for F. Burrall Hoffman, whose masterpiece is Villa Vizcaya in Miami. Within a few years, though, he returned to Georgia where he remained as the epitome of the "gentleman architect," designing some of the most beautiful buildings ever to grace the American landscape.

Book Synopsis Inspired by Tradition by : Norman Davenport Askins
Download or read book Inspired by Tradition written by Norman Davenport Askins and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen lavishly detailed Southern houses in Atlanta, Georgia, South Carolina, the Virginia Piedmont, along the Florida coasts, and in the mountains of North Carolina, from a leader in traditional architecture. Esteemed Atlanta architect Norman Davenport Askins made his name with his mastery of historical precedent. His gracious and livable designs recall such diverse sources as Italian Renaissance country villas, hillside castles in the Dordogne, and the very strong presence of the Colonial Revival and Federal houses in Atlanta and the greater South. Inspired by Tradition presents a portrait of Southern elegance through Askins’s trademark infusion of traditional design with understated innovation and style. New color photographs of interiors and landscape, commissioned specially for the book, complement traditional hand-drawn plans and elevations. In a special section dedicated to “Elements of Tradition,” Askins identifies the key components of traditional design and the parameters for using them successfully. Ultimately he believes in approaching tradition with innovation and individuality—adding touches of glamour, humor, and romance that bring his houses to life.
