Download or read book William Morris Red House written by Jan Marsh and published by National Trust Books. This book was released on 2005-11-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red House occupies an extraordinary place in British architectural history. It was the first and only house that William Morris ever built. It was the first independent architectural commission from his friend, Philip Webb. The challenge of furnishing the house inspired Morris to found the design firm of Morris & Co. It had a great influence on the Arts & Crafts Movement. But it is also a house that captured William Morris's heart. He was only twenty-five when, in 1858 he decided to buy the site at Bexleyheath, just outside London, but in a rural Kentish setting. He had recently married Jane Burden, daughter of an Oxford ostler, whose particular beauty became inspiration for so much pre-Raphaelite art. With his young wife and his wealth he planned to produce a vision of earthly paradise at Red House. Rosetti described it as 'more a poem than a house', Morris called it 'our place of art', and when he was obliged to give it up for financial reasons in 1865, he resolved never to return. His biographer recorded that he could 'never set eyes on it again, confessing that the sight of it would be more than he could bear'. Red House was saved from an uncertain future in January 2003 by the National Trust, and has already opened its doors. Visitors will be able to see some of the original furnishings but many are now at Kelmscott Manor, the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, the Victoria & Albert Museum and other locations. This book, however, will provide both the story of Red House and a 'virtual tour' to enable the reader to see how the house looked and functioned when William Morris, his family and friends lived there.
Download or read book The Letters of Philip Webb written by John Aplin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-30 with total page 1600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Webb (1831-1915) was a British architect known as a founder of the Arts and Crafts movement and also a key member of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. He was an important figure in the literary and artistic world of the late-nineteenth century. Webb had a long association, both professionally and personally, with William Morris and his family as well as becoming treasurer of Morris's revolutionary Socialist League. They first met as trainees in the same architect's practice and remained collaborators throughout their lifetimes. Webb was responsible for the design of the hugely influential Red House, the Morris's first home. It was through Morris that Webb became connected with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones, amongst others. Webb and Morris were also joint founders of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), the first organization to promote conservation rather than intrusive restoration. This comprehensive selection from Webb's surviving letters includes many important and previously unpublished letters to some of his closest associates. They reveal the wide range of his professional and personal interests. These four volumes will be of interest to art and architecture historians, scholars of Victorian history in general and of William Morris and the wider Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements in particular.
Download or read book The Arts Crafts Movement written by Oscar Lovell Triggs and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” This quote alone from William Morris could summarise the ideology of the Arts & Crafts movement, which triggered a veritable reform in the applied arts in England. Founded by John Ruskin, then put into practice by William Morris, the Arts & Crafts movement promoted revolutionary ideas in Victorian England. In the middle of the “soulless” Industrial Era, when objects were standardised, the Arts & Crafts movement proposed a return to the aesthetic at the core of production. The work of artisans and meticulous design thus became the heart of this new ideology, which influenced styles throughout the world, translating the essential ideas of Arts & Crafts into design, architecture and painting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das amerikanische Architekturbüro Sparano + Mooney Architecture aus Salt Lake City, Utah, und Los Angeles, Kalifornien, steht für nachhaltige und innovative Bauten, die sich harmonisch in spektakuläre Berglandschaften einbetten. Der Architekturkritiker Michael Webb stellt in diesem Band zehn Projekte anhand von Fotografien, Zeichnungen, Skizzen und Texten vor und macht so den Entstehungsprozess architektonischer Ideen sichtbar. Auf die überwältigende Natur reagieren die Architekt*innen in ihren Entwürfen mit zurückhaltenden Formen und der innovativen Detaillierung von Materialien. Die Modelle, Skizzen, konzeptionellen Konstruktionen und vollständig ausgeführten Bauwerke des Büros bieten eine durchdachte Perspektive auf den Prozess der Entwicklung einer Architektur, die von der Beziehung zwischen Konzept und Ort lebt. Begleitende Essays stellen die Bauwerke in Beziehung zu ihren regionalen Kontexten und zeigen darüber hinaus Analogien zur Land Art auf.
