Download or read book Born on the Island written by and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sixty-seven exquisite watercolors and drawings, nationally famous architect Eugene Aubry captures on paper the sensibilities, the memories, and the grace that evokes Galveston, especially for those who are BOI (“born on the island”). Commissioned by the Galveston Historical Foundation, these works of art are intended to enhance the visual record of the buildings and the unique local architectural style that so many have appreciated over the years.? In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, Galvestonians became more aware than ever of the treasure of the island’s historical architecture and the vulnerability of this heritage to forces beyond human control. Aubry’s art captures the almost palpable sense of past glories these buildings bring to mind. Aubry—himself BOI—has fashioned these pieces in a way that resonates with those who love the island’s ethos. With a fine eye to the artist’s intent and a mastery of detail, architectural historian Stephen Fox expertly and eloquently introduces the work as a whole and, in discursive captions that accompany each image, informs the reader’s appreciation of Aubry’s art. So much more than a tribute, Born on the Island: The Galveston We Remember stands as a loving homage to Galveston—one that will call its readers home to the island, even if they have never ventured there before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cel Francisco Zangerolame, my late Father, took photography when he was young as a hobby, one time when I had friends sleeping over, we build a makeshift photography development studio, back in the 80's, and I was hooked for life, photography is life, it makes all make sense. This book shows my second trip to Galveston Texas, all pictures were taken with my Nikon D-3000, and the only editing used was the on camera conversion to black and white. Welcome to the enchanting world of Galveston, Texas, where history whispers through the salty Gulf breeze and tales of resilience are etched into the timeworn facades of Victorian architecture. In this black and white chronicle, we invite you to traverse the cobbled streets and weathered piers, immersing yourself in the contrasting hues that paint the city's narrative. Galveston, a coastal gem with a past as rich and varied as the sands that line its shores, unfolds in monochrome splendor. Each page of this book captures the essence of a bygone era, where pirates once roamed and the echoes of devastating storms still linger. Through the lens of black and white photography, we unveil the hidden layers of this island city, where contrasts reveal the resilience of a community that has withstood the tests of time. Join me on a visual journey through Galveston's historic districts, its vibrant cultural scene, and the timeless allure of its beaches. As shadows dance across the sun-bleached landscapes and architectural details, the tales of Galveston's past and present come alive in a captivating grayscale symphony. This book is a tribute to the enduring spirit of Galveston, where shades of history blend seamlessly with the modern rhythm of coastal life. (c) 2022 Francisco Jose Zangerolame. All rights reserved.
Download or read book The Alleys and Back Buildings of Galveston written by Ellen Beasley and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alleys and back buildings have been largely overlooked in studies of the American urban environment. And yet, rental alley houses, servant and slave quarters, carriage houses, stables, and other secondary structures have lined the alleys and filled the backyards of Galveston since its early days as a growing port city on the upper Texas Gulf Coast. Like their counterparts in other cities, these buildings and their inhabitants have had a profound visual, physical, and social impact on the history and development of Galveston. Interweaving written documents, oral interviews, and pictorial images, Beasley presents a vivid picture of Galveston’s alleys and alley life from the founding of the city into the twentieth century. The book blends a unique combination of research, photography, and the voices of those who have lived and live along the alleys. Beasley has uncovered and analyzed a wealth of new information not only about the back buildings of Galveston but also about their occupants and the complex cultural forces at work in their lives.

Download or read book Making Houston Modern written by Barrie Scardino Bradley and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex, controversial, and prolific, Howard Barnstone was a central figure in the world of twentieth-century modern architecture. Recognized as Houston’s foremost modern architect in the 1950s, Barnstone came to prominence for his designs with partner Preston M. Bolton, which transposed the rigorous and austere architectural practices of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to the hot, steamy coastal plain of Texas. Barnstone was a man of contradictions—charming and witty but also self-centered, caustic, and abusive—who shaped new settings that were imbued, at once, with spatial calm and emotional intensity. Making Houston Modern explores the provocative architect’s life and work, not only through the lens of his architectural practice but also by delving into his personal life, class identity, and connections to the artists, critics, collectors, and museum directors who forged Houston’s distinctive culture in the postwar era. Edited by three renowned voices in the architecture world, this volume situates Barnstone within the contexts of American architecture, modernism, and Jewish culture to unravel the legacy of a charismatic personality whose imaginative work as an architect, author, teacher, and civic commentator helped redefine architecture in Texas.
