Download or read book Buffalo Architecture written by Reyner Banham and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1981-10-19 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buffalo's rich architectural and planning heritage has attracted the attention of several prominent historians, whose work here is accompanied by over 250 illustrations and photographs. For its size, the city of Buffalo, New York, possesses a remarkable number and variety of architectural masterpieces from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: Adler and Sullivan's Prudential building, H. H. Richardson's massive Buffalo State Hospital, Richard Upjohn's Sr. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, five prairie houses by Frank Lloyd Wright, and building by Daniel Burnham, Albert Kahn, and the firms of McKim, Mead, and White, and Lockwood, Green and Company, among others. These structures by prominent "outsiders" served to spur the efforts of local architects, builders, and craftsmen, and all of them built within the context of the city-wide park and parkway system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. In addition, the city and its environs exhibit representative works by more recent architects, among them Eero and Eliel Saarinen, Walther Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Paul Rudloph, Minoru Yamasaki, and the firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill. Buffalo's rich architectural and planning heritage has attracted the attention of several prominent historians, capable of the challenge of evaluating its significance. Reyner Banham is one of the world's leading authorities on the theory and practice of architecture, and he has written extensively on design in the industrial age (and Buffalo's innovative manufacturing plants and grain elevators are important exemplars of such design). Charles Beveridge, whose essay covers the park and parkway system, is editor of the Olmsted papers at The American University. And Henry Russell Hitchcock is the dean of American architectural historians, and the organizer of a 1940 exhibition on Buffalo's built environment. Their essays are followed by seven sections that delineate the city's neighborhoods, each provided with a map, neighborhood history, and a full complement of photographs with descriptive building captions. An eighth section, "Lost Buffalo," describes demolished buildings, chief among them Wright's great Larkin administration building, while the remaining sections venture out of town, exploring Erie and Niagara Counties, other parts of Western New York, and southern Ontario.
Download or read book When Ending a Golden Age Was Good written by Anthony Grant and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tale was inspired to counter the current culture of evil plaguing our society, nation, and world. Throughout its pages, it points to Christ and faith as the only cure to these ills. The first story takes the reader back to ancient Scandinavia, around 700 AD, during an era of dragons and other evil creatures. It is a critical juncture in time for Christianity in Europe as pagans were converting to the saving faith. The primary clan or family is the O Grants and their kingdom, and it chronicles faith being handed down from one generation to the next. For historical intrigue, it also has the O Grants allied with real kingdoms and clans of that era, united in a common faith in their fight against common enemies. Real geographic destinations, including mountains, bring the story to life, and a special weapon is given to this clan that will intrigue young minds reading it. Even some survival tips are offered as our heroes face extreme elements. Parents will be reassured in knowing that Christ Jesus is mentioned over and over unapologetically as a rich source of comfort and hope and a reminder that He never lets us down when we put our faith in Him.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Hollywood written by Paul Bahn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Age of Hollywood, dating to the hazy depths of the early 20th Century, was an era of movie stars worshipped by the masses and despotic studio moguls issuing decrees from poolside divans… but despite the world-wide reach of the movie industry, little more than memories of that era linger amidst the freeways and apartment complexes of today’s Los Angeles. Noted archaeologistPaul G. Bahndigs into the material traces of that Tinseltown in an effort to document and save the treasures that remain. Bahn leads readers on a tour of this singular culture, from the industrial zones of film studios to the landmarks where the glamorous lived, partied, and played, from where they died and were buried to how they’ve been memorialized for posterity. The result is part history, part archaeology—enlivened with pop culture, reminiscence, and whimsy—and throughout, it feeds and deepens our fascination with an iconic place and time, not to mention the personalities who brought it to life.
