Nowhere is this more apparent than in the built environment of this diverse nation. With over 1100 beautifully photographed illustrations and more than 200,000 words of detailed text, The Atlas of American Architecture reflects this magnificent abundance. Ranging in its attention from such early manifestations of building as the Hohokam Salt River Irrigation Canals of Southern Arizona (0-1450 CE) to the most sophisticated structures of our modern cities to such ordinary and yet essential subjects as the parkways on which we drive, the theaters in which are entertained, the gardens in which we take our leisure, and the houses in which we live, this volume comprehensively tells the story of building in America. It is at once a practical guide for those who would travel to a nation's monuments and architectural curiosities as well as a treasure trove of imagery and information."--Jacket.

Modernism and landscape architecture, 1890-1940 / by O'Malley, Therese.(CARDINAL)288539; Wolschke-Bulmahn, Joachim.(CARDINAL)781998;

The twelve essays included in this exceptional volume grapple with the definition and significance of modernism in landscape design during this transformative era. An international roster of leading landscape historians discuss established and less recognized designers, such as Maria Teresa Parpagliolo, who sought to define the modern Italian garden, or Benito Javier Carrasco, who made recreational green space a public amenity in Buenos Aires. Examining gardens and landscapes of all scales and purposes, from private villa gardens to civic spaces, these essays contribute original insight and rigorous research to the growing field of landscape studies.

New coastal : inspiration for a life by the sea / by Weir, Ingrid,author.(CARDINAL)895356;

City -- Remote -- Surf -- Cosy -- Bohemian -- Minimal -- Island -- Panoramic -- Tips and design and coastal life -- How to create it."This beautiful, photo-filled hardback serves as an inspiration and compass for life lived by the sea. Written and photographed by interior designer Ingrid Weir, the pages transport you to coastal towns both near and far, from Big Sur in California and the islands of Hawaii to the Bay of Fires in Australia. Ship captains, artists, poets and pirates have long been drawn to the life of the sea. In New Coastal, we meet the modern-day incarnations of these renegade spirits, who have crafted original and authentic lives animated by the freedom of the ocean. In candid interviews, they share tips for secret spots and hideaways in their corner of the world - as well as where to find the best cup of coffee. Travelling from a romantic boathouse to a veranda overlooking the water and a bonfire picnic on the beach, Weir also shows how to create the coastal look for yourself, no matter where you live. Combining rustic charm with warm modernism, New Coastal takes you on an adventure to refresh your soul"--Publisher's description.

Architecture's odd couple : Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson / by Howard, Hugh,1952-author.(CARDINAL)276098;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-320) and index."In architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867-1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906-2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history. Differing radically in their views on architecture, Wright and Johnson shared a restless creativity, enormous charisma, and an outspokenness that made each man irresistible to the media. Often publicly at odds, they were the twentieth century's flint and steel; their repeated encounters consistently set off sparks. Yet as acclaimed historian Hugh Howard shows, their rivalry was also a fruitful artistic conversation, one that yielded new directions for both men. It was not despite but rather because of their contentious--and not always admiring--relationship that they were able so powerfully to influence history. In Architecture's Odd Couple, Howard deftly traces the historical threads connecting the two men and offers readers a distinct perspective on the era they so enlivened with their designs. Featuring many of the structures that defined modern space--from Fallingwater to the Guggenheim, from the Glass House to the Seagram Building--this book presents an arresting portrait of modern architecture's odd couple and how they shaped the American landscape by shaping each other"--
