Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated tour of America's houses begins in 1640 with the early roots of American style -- a combination of European skill and attitude combined with American know-how. This architectural journey continues on through the 18th and 19th centuries, through the Greek Revival, the Americanization of the Gothic Revival, and the early Colonial Revival. The houses of the 20th century are the main attraction as House Styles in America delves into the major movements in the Romantic Revivals of the 1920s and 1930s: English, French, and Spanish. Replete with 200 color photographs, this architectural journey is an essential and beautiful guide for realtors, tourists, and students of architecture.

Download or read book William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture written by Robert Douglass Russell and published by Univ Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Strickland (1788-1854) was, in his day, among the most notable architects in the United States. An erstwhile student of Benjamin Henry Latrobe and a contemporary of Robert Mills, Strickland first entered the world of architecture at a young age in Philadelphia. But given that many of Strickland's buildings have not survived, and considering the sparse and dispersed collection of primary sources Strickland left upon his death, little contemporary scholarship has appeared concerning Strickland's significant contributions to the built environment of the early nineteenth century. In William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture, Robert Russell does much to rectify this underrepresentation of Strickland's notable architectural contributions in contemporary scholarship. In this first monograph detailing Strickland's life and works since 1950 Russell examines the architectural production of Strickland during the first half of the nineteenth century. Russell begins with the well-known Second Bank of the United States (Philadelphia)--the project that launched Strickland onto the national stage--eventually bringing his analysis to the south with an examination of the Tennessee State Capitol Building (Nashville). These two monuments bookended the American Greek Revival of the nineteenth century. Russell's careful descriptions and insightful analyses of William Strickland's work highlight the architect's artistic skills and contributions to American material culture over the course of fifty years. Ornamenting his examination with more than one hundred illustrations, Russell takes readers on a comprehensive journey through Strickland's architecture. Part biography, part architectural history, William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture is an invaluable resource for scholars and artists alike, illustrating Strickland's critical role in American architectural history and celebrating the icon behind buildings in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and beyond that are still admired and appreciated today.

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.
