Download or read book Henry Hobson Richardson written by Margaret Henderson Floyd and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richardson's brief career (born in 1838, he practiced from 1865 until his death in 1886) coincided with a time when the newly urbanized United States required an unprecedented number of new buildings of all types. To meet this need, Richardson melded medieval, vernacular, provincial, and primitive sources with an elemental consciousness of the natural environment, the force of gravity, and the tactile qualities of local building materials. His ingenious combinations of seemingly disconnected elements yielded a series of powerful, unified structures, such as Trinity Church, Boston, and its rectory; the New York State Capitol and City Hall in Albany; the Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail in Pittsburgh; Austin and Sever Halls at Harvard University; the Ames Gate Lodge in North Easton, Massachusetts; and several houses, including the Glessner House in Chicago, the Mary Fisk Stoughton House in Cambridge, and Stonehurst, the Robert Treat Paine House in Waltham, Massachusetts. This publication pairs architectural historian Margaret Henderson Floyd and architectural photographer Paul Rocheleau to create the first full-color critical review of this important architect's work.
Download or read book Architects of an American Landscape written by Hugh Howard and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dual portrait of America’s first great architect, Henry Hobson Richardson, and her finest landscape designer, Frederick Law Olmsted—and their immense impact on America As the nation recovered from a cataclysmic war, two titans of design profoundly influenced how Americans came to interact with the built and natural world around them through their pioneering work in architecture and landscape design. Frederick Law Olmsted is widely revered as America’s first and finest parkmaker and environmentalist, the force behind Manhattan’s Central Park, Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, Biltmore’s parkland in Asheville, dozens of parks across the country, and the preservation of Yosemite and Niagara Falls. Yet his close friend and sometime collaborator, Henry Hobson Richardson, has been almost entirely forgotten today, despite his outsized influence on American architecture—from Boston’s iconic Trinity Church to Chicago’s Marshall Field Wholesale Store to the Shingle Style and the wildly popular “open plan” he conceived for family homes. Individually they created much-beloved buildings and public spaces. Together they married natural landscapes with built structures in train stations and public libraries that helped drive the shift in American life from congested cities to developing suburbs across the country. The small, reserved Olmsted and the passionate, Falstaffian Richardson could not have been more different in character, but their sensibilities were closely aligned. In chronicling their intersecting lives and work in the context of the nation’s post-war renewal, Hugh Howard reveals how these two men created original all-American idioms in architecture and landscape that influence how we enjoy our public and private spaces to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABC of Architecture is an accessible, nontechnical introduction to architectural structure, history, and criticism. Author James F. O'Gormon moves seamlessly from a discussion of the most basic inspiration for architecture (the need for shelter from the elements), to an exploration of space, system, and material, and, finally, to an examination of the language and history of architecture. He shows the nonspecialist how to read a design in plans, sections, and elevations, and how architects, like other artists, make creative use of space and light.
