The Elements of Style is the most comprehensive visual survey, period by period, feature by feature, of the styles that have had the greatest impact on interiors of American and British domestic architecture. Unsurpassed in its range of illustrations, this magnificent volume covers more than 500 years of architectural styles from Tudor to Post-Modern and includes a wealth of American and British vernacular styles. Everyone from owners of period houses, restorers, and architects to interior designers, do it-yourself homeowners, and all those interested in our building heritage will find this reference indispensable. Split into sections (Tudor & Jacobean, Baroque, Early Georgian, Colonial, Late Georgian, Regency & Early 19th Century, Federal & Empire, British Victorian, American Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, American Beaux Arts, Twenties & Thirties, Modern, Beyond Modern) by different authors, each section is then further subdivided into Doors, Windows, Walls, Ceilings, Floors, Fireplaces, Kitchen stoves, Staircases, Built-in furniture, Services, Lighting, Metalwork and Woodwork. If you need a dozen varying examples of late-Victorian letterboxes, Tudor fireplaces, Baroque door pediments or Edwardian ceiling roses, then this is a great book. It's full of fully-sourced line-drawings and photographs. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
An in-depth chronological survey of the key styles and periods of British and American architectural design over the past 500 years, this work is a comprehensive visual survey, period by period, feature by feature, of the key styles in American and British domestic architecture from the Tudor period to present day. As a reference guide, the book is designed for owners of period houses, restorers, architects, interior designers and all those interested in our architectural heritage. This revised edition includes a fully updated chapter covering the Contemporary era (1975-present) and a new list of suppliers and resources. More than 3,000 analytical drawings and historical engravings, 500 color and 1,000 black-and-white photographs provide a clearly presented guide to the features appropriate for every part of a building. Major components, such as doors, windows, walls, floors, ceilings and staircases, the small but important embellishments, such as molding and door hardware, and permanent or semi-permanent fixtures, such as lighting and wallcoverings, populate this wide-ranging encyclopedic resource. A system of color-coded tabs enables the reader to compare specific features as they have evolved over time. Additional information on restoration and maintenance, biographies of key architects, and a detailed glossary are included. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
